Just read that the cost of Bramley moor has risen from 500 to 760 million. How can this be when DBB and Kenwright told us all that they locked in the price at 500 million to avoid any increases?

I'd imagine this talk of "locked in the price" was more relating to labour costs. If the construction company drag their feet, get behind etc then they can't start throwing out revised prices. But we'd surely have to stump up extra for noticeably increased prices of materials. Supply problems across the construction industry have seen prices skyrocket and i don't think you could ever feasibly guarantee a fixed price so far in advance.
Just conjecture of course, there may be another reason but this seems most likely to me.

Not if the materials were ordered before the price rise, I would think there is a contract in place.

Fuel costs through the roof, cost of borrowing going up the whole time. Lots of things can effect this.

Locked in means locked in. I have dealt with many contracts that are locked in. There may be clauses that allow for costs above and beyond control, but not that much to put the price so high.

It was Moshiri that said the costs hadn't gone up, the board said the build was up to 760 million.

You're all making the mistake of believing something Moshiri and the board has said

When do they ever tell us the truth?
