I’ve found that getting tradesmen in is easier; I’ve not had any issue with having structural work done - architect, builder, plumbing, electrics, external landscaping etc. But material prices are still high from what I’ve seen.
Overall the extension we wanted to do last year was at least twice as expensive than the extension we did 7 years ago. More like 3 times, although it was more complicated so that would have affected the price.
I’ve put out messages on NextDoor recently as we need some more work done and I’ve had plenty of responses with people available quite quickly.
