There’s a shortage of labour so wages have gone up in the sector, as has the cost of materials. Just ask Joe Lewis.
A client of ours valued a building in London for reinstatement purposes back in September 2013, the value was £19.6m, in October 2018 the revaluation put it at £26.6m.

This is the kind of thing I'm struggling to counter. It basically backs up his general anti-immigrant stance, and vibe is that everyone has 'gone home' since the vote and so now people can work who couldn't. 'The country's full'.
Thanks for the interesting responses.

That valuation figure must reflect the replacement building meeting current or up coming regulations.
Many construction companies are going for bigger profits and paying the sub contractors (who do the work) less.

I know someone who's absolutely convinced that now wages in construction are significantly better than they were before the vote, and people who couldn't find a job now can. Is this true? Paging clever people who read about this.
