Said exactly same other day...building materials carry on as they are people will stop being able to afford extensions etc

materials are shooting up, but it’s labour increasing more than materials that will be the issue. Either firms that employ direct or subbies, labours always the biggest cost.
 
I know loads of people not doing extensions now because of the costs.... I have stuck my prices up for everything now as well so I can add to thee inflation but it is what it is

Big problem if you're locked into a contract, particularly if you rely on stubbies.

Yes to a point if and when work becomes more scarce, but at present for me for instance My scaffold firm has just told me due to increased costs and his labour going up that work for him he’s putting his costs up to me for 20% from the end of the month. Fine if you can plan for that but for instance I’ve a decent project to start next month on a fixed price, which my scaffold has just gone up over a grand and that’s just one.
yep you can pass a few bags on, but not when you start adding up.

Builders last year were only quoting prices on a monthly basis as the market for materials was so volatile

Without wishing to be mean; I hope that everyone stays busy enough that labour is in short supply for many years to come.

I think if you’ve built up a good business and got good clients then you will be ok.
A lot of it’s built on trust and most people are happy with that.
