One builder has had 5 jobs disappear.
Should also start seeing a drop in building commodity prices as overgeared suppliers seek too stimulate demand.

Smaller builders are losing jobs as they are more expensive, however you get what you pay for in this world and give me a small builder any day.

Yes, well this is the problem I have. Don't see why I should be subsidising his 9 houses, kids at top private schools, his M Class Merc and regular hols. I, like alot of people are "cutting back" - why are they not???
