Post-COVID contractor prices
In your opinion, when covid is over (hopefully sometime next year), how might this affect contractor prices? Will there be a sudden surge in builder charges as more work is available and they try to make up for a bad financial year? Am I better off taking precautions and having work done before the pandemic is over? Any thoughts on this? I want to have an extension built so it’s going to be a costly project and this thought popped into my head. Thought I’d try and get in touch with a professional.

Foundation measurements and material required
Hi, I am looking at doing a side and back extension. Side extension would be a double storey while back would be a single storey. I need advise on how deep and wide should the foundation trench be, do i fill the trench to the top with concrete, if there are different types of concrete what type should i use, and do i need to place a steel mesh into the trench? My neighbour is also planning to do the side extension so can we dig a single trench between us and use that as foundation for both side walls? His house is on a slightly higher ground (10-20cm). Is it wise to have a gap between neighbours side wall and my side wall (we thought 10cm on each side of the boundary line hence leaving a 20cm gap) or is it better to build walls as close as possible? Your advise will be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help. Kind regards
