All the craftsmen I have spoken to about this topic so far do not see this happening at all at the moment. You keep hearing the same old tune: They can't find new/good employees, additionally the baby boomer generations will retire in the foreseeable future and the TikTok generation is still difficult to enthuse for craftsmanship. The outlook for the future is already causing many business owners to break out in a sweat. Materials might become a bit cheaper again, but skilled personnel are in demand and will therefore remain expensive. In this respect, the hope for falling prices is unfortunately more wishful thinking; with luck, there will be something like stagnation.
Have you also asked the craftsmen if they train apprentices? That is the other side of the problem, hardly anyone wants to train themselves. I see it with my brother, he does gate installations, has been looking for employees for years. But training apprentices himself? Nope, too much effort.
