Materials thru the roof here, but all gettable it would seem, hearing of folk having 6-12month waits for builders/roofers to start a job, cousin finishing off a house next door at min and every trade is flat out, them getting labour being the biggest issue. Also heard materials could go another 50% in next 6 months! Hard to know! , we have notion of a small extension but gonna park it for a year or two I think to see how it pans out... (NW of Ireland btw!)

When houses are expensive , people extend or renovate , hence busy builders .

Trowel pixies here at the moment.
Spend time sourcing materials for the build but if they turn up don't let them go away.

Nothing is going down in price until the riots start.

Could you get a builder this year if you wanted to crack on?
