Construction

According to a recent Datamonitor report, cost indexes such as the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveryors index, have shown that due to spiralling demand, certain raw materials, like copper, have become more expensive. Since London won the bid for the 2012 Olymipic Games, there has also been a shortage in the availability of construction workers in the South of England. This placing upward pressure on rates.
