Just over the way from us at work, there is a build that has just stopped. The cranes they are using arent even being dismantled, my guess is they have no where for them to go so are no wasting the resource in removing them!
A lot of projects have stopped because the banks wont release the cash to get them finished. I am in the brick business and everyone is struggling. A lot of factory's have been either closed or mothballed but when the construction industry does kick start again it is widely thought there will be not enough capability to supply the demand. Right now it is important to survive and to ride the storm out because the good times will return again.
