Sigh.Bet you couldn't .
I am not worried about anything..only build costs...it does not effect me in any way...Where are you living at the moment and what would happen to that place e when you move out? If you can let that then factor loss of rent into the equation.
Sounds like you are not worried about capital value just build costs so land / plot price fluctuation May not be a concern.
I suspect building jobs will slow up as the cost of doing so gets to steep so the availability of labour may improve.
Get quotes now for the bulk of the materials and then compare again on going and see what they do.

It would be difficult to find a house in a village around here for £1500 a month so materials would have to drop a fair bit to lose 12 months rent.Where are you living at the moment and what would happen to that place e when you move out?

How much is the build and how much are the fancy bits?We are ready to start build but the quotes coming in are astronomic, well over £3000 / Sq m . It's a high spec. bungalow with all the bells and whistles ( GSHP, MHRV, UFH, complex roof shape etc)
The builders are all so busy they can add a huge safety margin to the quote and still get work.
All through the design phase we were repeatedly told it would cost around £2000 /Sq m .
Do wonder about self-managing the build, just getting subcontractors in, which is all the builder will do. I am worried I would not have enough control on quality as the brickies etc know it’s a one off and that I can’t do it without them, while they can get work anywhere at the moment.
Yer, wize one's by here never paid rates as never finished also.Started the house I am living in in 1995 and been living in it since 1996 but still not finished so still paying rates at band “C” until I finish and get it signed off
Get base in anyhow.Would it be a good idea to get some blocks to beyond ground level, or perhaps to the damp course level, so it won't matter if the trench sides colapse over the period between now and the (extended?) actual build start?
