A striking indication of the steadily falling costs in the building market and keen competition is given as the outcome of tenders called for the building of a worker’s four-roomed dwelling at Wanganui Fast by the Wanganui County Council. The lowest tenderer for a, building in wood, with all conveniences, gas, water and drainage, was C 464, and the highest £6BO. That there should be a. difference of £ll6 in such a small undertaking shows there must bo something unscientific in the costing system of the various builders, or is it that one requires so much greater a profit than another?
