    Absolutely.

    What I want to know though is how the costs blew out from $2.7bil to $6bil-7bil? I know they were only announced as having the games last year, but do we know when they would have done the proposal and budget? That’s an absolutely massive difference.

    • I’ve seen construction quotes that have doubled in the last 2 years.

      The construction sector has gone spastic in the last couple of years and contracts with hard completion dates are a license for trades to print money.

        Yeah I got a few quotes to get a 2.5 bay shed made and installed 2 years ago…… almost $50k lol. From a local company that had made ones for my friends and family for less than half that a few years earlier. Blamed the price of steel.
