Not a whole lot, 10% payrise, not too shabby . I work in civil construction and as far as I can tell its not slowing down. That said its getting warmer here and the work really flows in during summer, will be able to gauge any effect next winter.

None of the poll options come close for me... you need some "middle ground" options in there, like, "not too concerned at the moment".

Still getting a fair few big floors privately (I'm a ceramic tiler)... if they start to dry up, can always start saying yes to all the renovation calls I keep knocking back.....
