We have commissioned a driveway of 1160sq metres back in Aug 2014. It is to be carried out in Feb 2015 at last!

Included in the work area of 1160sqm there is a 50mm layer of AC20 dense binder then a 30mm layer of compacted AC10 close surface bitumen.
Could we expect a reduction in the overall cost of £36000 in that due to the reduction in oil prices over last 6 months?
Thank you

funnily enough most suppliers put there prices up between 10-15% on january the 1st
oil may have dropped but supply and demand rules the market and building is booming now
you may even have a slight increase
all the best
