average price of building materials 2011

average price of building materials 2011 - Michelmersh Brick’s average selling price slumped in 2010 from £350 per thousand to £330 per thousand. Chief executive Martin Warner said: “Our challenge, as with other manufacturers, is to achieve price recovery. However, I believe this will come as we face up to a future of increasing energy costs.”

The reduction in average price was attributed more to a change in product mix than commercial pressure. In March 2010 Michelmersh acquired Freshfield Lane Brickworks (FLB), whose production is targeted more at the volume brick market than premium products.

Mr Warner said that demand for bricks had fallen 40% in the last five years, from 2.6bn to 1.5bn. “There has been intense acquisition activity and the closure of works, resulting in the majority of bricks now being produced in large manufacturing units. As this process has continued, and I believe that the market has now almost certainly bottomed out, Michelmersh Brick is in a strengthened position.”
