What was used before cement was invented? cow dung and straw? Yes, pretty much... It was the Romans who first used it, after all. Or possibly mud and whattle (smells better than cow dung)

Timber is up a minimum of 75% since early 2020, in some cases well over 100%, however, over supply over the past few years has helped keep the prices low, so a correction of sorts was over due.
You know its time to worry when investment companies buy harvesting rights for forestry, and a few are doing just that, it wont get better any time soon.

So why is there a cement shortage? It's not as if they have been demolishing cement works left, right and center.

HS2 is getting a lot of blame for absorbing shedloads of supply. Well we can ditch that. Total waste of money, resources and destroying thousands of acres of good land. Have they never heard of Zoom and Teams? Change in attitude / working practices is what's needed, not squandering resources. By the way, I'm not in favour of HS2 ;-)

Or what about giving every adult in the country about 2 grand that they must spend within 6 months? Probably just as daft I know but all 3 of these cost within the same order of magnitude.

So AC have only just realised that material shortages may adversely affect some of their development loans? I doubt it given they have been referencing it in CR for the last year. Here's the original article which is more of a commentary on the situation than a warning. www.assetzcapital.co.uk/blog/constructionmaterialshortage

But its dated yesterday ? Yes, and? They have been aware of the issue for a while. Just because someone has thought "Oo, that will make a good blog article' doesnt change that. Much the same as the issue has been around for quite a while but the press has suddenly picked up on it.
