EWP Market Snapshot

Updated October 2026

For builders and suppliers working with I-joists (BCI, TJI) and structural beams (LVL, PSL, LSL, glulam): prices are softer than last year, small increases are working through the market, supply is steady, and demand is tracking a slow housing market.

−7%Boise I-joist prices, year over year (Q2)

−4%Boise LVL prices, year over year (Q2)

~3%Boise EWP price increase, fully in by Q1 2027

1.22MU.S. housing starts, Sept. annual rate (−5.2%)

Boise Cascade (BCI, AJS, Versa-Lam)

Pricing: Q2 I-joist prices were down 7% and LVL down 4% from last year, roughly flat with Q1. Volumes were down 2% year over year but up strongly from the winter quarter.
Price increase: About 3% across EWP, phased in through Q3 and Q4 and fully in by Q1 2027. It varies by market.
Inventory: Some buyers ordered ahead of the increase, and dealers are trimming stock. Builders are buying closer to need. Boise expects Q3 EWP volumes down mid-single digits from Q2.
Costs: Cheaper OSB for I-joist webs helped margins, while mill conversion costs went up. Mills ran around 85–90% in Q2.

Weyerhaeuser (TJI, Microllam, Parallam, TimberStrand)

Mix: Q2 volumes rose seasonally, with more solid-section beams (LVL, PSL, LSL) sold relative to TJI joists.
Pricing: Increases took effect in some markets in Q3, mainly passing through higher resin, fuel and input costs. Weyerhaeuser still calls the market competitive.
Supply: Channel inventories are normal and supply is balanced at current demand. In September, Weyerhaeuser trimmed its Q3 wood products outlook, mostly on higher fuel costs.
New capacity & products: The Monticello, Arkansas TimberStrand LSL mill is on track to start up in the first half of 2027. ProPanel floor panels and AeroStrand LSL joists were previewed in February; availability is still to be announced.

Demand

U.S. housing starts fell for a third straight month in September: single-family down 4.6% to 859,000 and multi-family down 7.2% to 349,000 (annual rates).
Both producers describe a slow market held back by affordability, mortgage rates in the mid-6% range and weak buyer confidence, but expect long-term demand from the housing shortage and repair-and-remodel work.

What it means on your next job

Expect small EWP price bumps through early 2027, so check that quote pricing is current before you order.
No shortages are being flagged, but with dealers carrying leaner stock, confirm availability early on deep joists and long beams.
A tight floor layout and accurate take-off keeps waste and re-orders down when every piece costs more.
