Tonight's local news on WMUR had a story about a shortage of lumber right now likely because of Covid-19. This means higher prices.

Lumber production was reduced in April, and now there is a surge in demand due to remodeling and folks moving out of cities.

Alternatives to wood such as metal studs for framing and plastic boards (Trex) could be substitutes during the wood shortage and may be worth looking into. Obviously the Trex would be for decking.
