COST OF BUILDING
ADVANCES SWIFTLY
Estimate Construction Costs
Nearly One third More Than
Before .War.

According to figures given by builders
at the Thursday noon meeting of the
Minneapolis Real Estate board the cost
Of construction in this city has increas-
ed since August, 1914. from rs to 80 per
cent. One builder estimates the advances
of the last IL months at 20 per cent,
and all agree that the prices Of mater
ial are still to advance considerably
during the current year.
One of the leading contractors Of the
city. speaking Of the advance In the
market value of building materials,
said that while prices had been slowly
rising during the past 20 years, the av-
erage advance in the past three years
had been near 60 per cent; since the
beginning of the war many Of the met
ais had doubled in price and some of
them had trebled Silver. for example.
he said had risen from 48 cents per
ounce to 70 cents, and copper had ad-
vanced 256 per cent.
The following are some Of the ad-
vances noted by the speaker: Lumber,
II to 20 per cent; cement, IS per cent;
common brick, Is to 20 per cent; car
penter work, Is per cent; concrete
down town, 20 per cent; reinforcing
steel, 200 per cent; general roofing ma
terial. 40 per cent; builders hardware,
so to $50 per cent; electrical work, 100
per cent; fireproof warehouse construc-
| tion, 30 to 35 per cent; ordinary frame
construction, 10 to Is per cent.
A builder of apartment houses found
that his building operations this year
are costing him about 20 per cent more
than last year. An extensive builder
of residences Of the better class gave
the following figures from his own
| books to show the advance Of building
costs: A house that on March l, 1915
cost him $3,420 to build, cost to dupli.
cate on March l, 1916, an increase OF
| 12k per cent, or 1884, while on March
I, this year, it cost $4,549, or an in.
crease in two years of about one third
The same rate of advance in COST he
said, holds good on residences costine
from $4,000 to $4,000. On a house bull
by him two years ago the lumber cos,
$6S3; today it costs 1919 or II per cent
more; the plumbing cost then $292; nov
$3.50 or 36 per cent more; the hot wa
ter heating cost then $342; now $3.50
or 8S per cent more; the hardware cos
then $102; now $3.50 or 81 per cen
more-Minneapolis Journal.
