Good morning, Craig, and thanks for having me on.
Yes, I'm a Roos fan, long-suffering Roos fan, but there's some positive signs this year.
Been to two wins out of three games, so not a bad start.
We do.
So the RLBs are large quantity surveying firms.
They're looking at construction costs.
That's the core of our business.
So we put out a piece of work just trying to assess what the Middle East conflict means for construction costs as a whole.
So it's a hard thing to do.
given that the situation is changing quite a lot.
We've tried to just give some insights into where we think things stand now and where it could end up if the best case scenario where the war ends quite quickly or potentially a worst case scenario if it drags on for a while, what that will mean for construction costs.
We've certainly seen cost pressures start to flow through into the sector already.
It happened pretty quickly, particularly in that
Logistics freight part where lots of companies passed on fuel surcharges straight away.
So in the range of 10 to 25%.
So that's delivery costs from hardwares or construction material supplies being added surcharges too.
We've seen costs rise obviously for diesel.
Diesel prices have shot up over 75% and that's flowing into equipment that's used on particularly big projects, but also small projects as well.
So that's the immediate impact.
And then starting to see this flow into actual costs of materials.
