Rising freight costs and what they mean for Bahamian contractors
Global shipping and tariff volatility keeps pushing landed costs up for Bahamian job sites. Here is how we help contractors price work honestly and protect their margins.
Every contractor in The Bahamas imports something. When global freight rates and tariffs move, they move our landed costs with them, and the contractor who quoted three months ago is the one who absorbs it.
Lion's Rest Consulting works with clients to build escalation language into contracts, to lock supplier pricing where it can be locked, and to consolidate shipments so that several small orders travel as one.
If you are pricing a job right now, price the freight separately, date your quotation, and put a validity window on it. That single habit protects more Bahamian margins than any other change we recommend.
