And will only continue to rise. Perhaps, it’s optimistic of the plans

I work for a builders merchant and one of my jobs is to update the database on prices, timber and steel have dropped (around 10-15%) in the last 6 months, however other materials have gone up like blocks/bricks, cement, plaster, plasterboard and aggregates(Sand/ballast and alike) by over10% and this month I've just been notified copper is going up by 5% which will effect pipe/tube and also electric cables.

Seen these on twitter, presumably they are photos of what's in the East Stand.

| By all accounts the previous owners naively paid Morgan Sindall the full amount early in the build and now it seems MS did what builders do once they get their money. Cut corners and do stuff on the cheap!
Matt Ellis is now having to get MS to front up and fix the problems at their expense

That's just not true.

I can’t imagine that the full amount was paid early in the build. That would be a strange move. There would usually be a percentage held back I’d imagine on completion.
That said, there’s been a catalogue of cuts and downgrades on the north, east, hospitality and outside area I think as well as what appears to be an abandonment for the refurbishment of 2 floor gym, cafe and class rooms in the south east. Added to that the electrical supply issues and the now water supply issues it’s honestly run far from expected.
Hopefully this is the last of the issues.

I can't speak with 100% knowledge of this situation, but have being involved in project managing the supply of goods and services to builds of similar and larger size/complexity for around 35 years and dealt with Morgan Sindall for the last 10 and in all cases, there are agreed timescales and milestones when funds are released/withheld and not once has full payment been made "up front" on any of those projects

I certainly wasn’t including all builders and certainly not genuine honest tradesmen!
I should have put ‘some builders’

From what I've heard ME is seriously disappointed with the standard/quality of a lot of the work in the new stand and with the electrical and now water issues, it looks as though Morgan Sindall have now got some serious 'snagging' to do...

Didn't the sewer line collapse at new Wembley causing the opening to be delayed and a lawsuit between the FA and the builder (Multiplex)?
I agree with ME with what I've seen of the quality at BV. Having 30 years of construction background I am surprised with some of the stuff that the supposed tier 1 Project Manager we employed let them get away with. But that's just my opinion, and not necessary that of the past or current owners, or of this forum. (Think I got the disclaimers covered?)

| Walked past the stadium earlier, a tree services van was parked up in the gateway by the Doncaster Road gate. I can only imagine for the trees at the back of the north stand.
