Material price rises on the way ?

Yes, if a recent Sunday Times report in their Homes supplement is to be believed. Albeit aimed at Builders and Home Improvements, the situation will affect any Hardscaping projects:

'Bricks' up 24%

OPC (Cement) up 19%

Sawn wood up 10%

Screws/nails up 2%

Skips up 14%

These are price increases just being seen and almost certainly the tip of the iceberg. It's stated as being due to reduced production following the building market down-turn some years ago. May be profiteering going on? Who knows, but if anyone's quoting for works early next year (2016), you had better ensure you have contigency in your prices or T&C's that allow for material cost increases.
