Construction prices in 2022
It has been well documented over the last few months to a year, that there is an acute shortage of certain building materials, in fact one could argue that there has been no real stability in either prices or stock supplies since COVID-19 hit us all those years ago, and with energy prices now adding further strain, is now the right time to get building work carried out, or should you wait?
Us builders are a cynical old bunch, but it is a sad fact of life, that prices, on the whole, only really go one way, up, so other than a possible flattening off of prices, I really don't see any huge price drop on the horizon, unless energy prices take an unexpected tumble.
Some types of materials do of course fluctuate, steel prices for example have always been dictated by demand, so if your project contains a lot steelwork for example, then there is a right time and a wrong time to start, and there is a lot of financial advice and differing opinions out there related to home improvements, which we encourage you to seek, but if you really want to know the cost of construction in 2022, be it a home extension, or property maintenance/repairs, contact us and arrange a free quote.
And remember, property prices, the value of your home, they are rising, with no sign of the market crashing any time soon, so its also a good time to invest money in home improvements. A 20k home extension now, will have added far more value to your home in a few years time, so you could almost argue its an investment.
