View up north seems to be that a lot of developers holding land are looking at the economy recovering slowly and are commissioning a lot of advance work (Appraisals, DBAs, evaluations etc) with a view to developing land next year. The up-shot of that, if its the same everywhere, is that it might turn out to be a rather thin year for diggers this year (but bloomin brilliant for the consultancy end), but then a bumper year next year, so if you can't get a job now, don't throw your trowels away :face-approve:
