We did an extension before Covid when, looking back it was a great time to do it as labour and materials rates were relatively reasonable compared with Covid times.

I have put off a few jobs around the house post Covid as the whole building game went mental not just on price, but also availability.

I have been hearing recent anecdotals that builders and trades in general are a lot quieter given high interest rates and less people moving.

Anyone have any very recent experience or is it still as mental as Covid times?

Maybe now is a better time to undertake some building/refurbishment work?
