HIGH BRITISH BUILDING COSTS
HELD DUE TO ARCHAIC SYSTEM
American Committee Declares London Contractors
and Employees Are Slow to Adopt Modern Eff
cheney Methods-Fnds Odd Financing Plan.

here The more progressive of the
British contractors are alive to this
situation and are doing everything
they can to correct 1t.
Most Buildings Low.
Seven or eight stories is about the
limit of building height anywhere in
London. This reduces the income as
compared with American buildings.
1t keeps down the cost of the land
and makes the business area spread
out The Londoner seems absolutely
convinced that high buildings are not
desirable, and while they may in
crease their height from time to
time, it will, in my opinion, never
be to any great extent.
I'VE found that London rents and
net incomes from buildings compare
favorably with ours and in some in
stances are higher. In many cases
they show a net income of 10 per cent
on the entire capital. In most build
ings, rents are quoted plus rates and
taXeS'-'rateS' in the English parlance
being the real estate tax assessed by
the local authorities. and taxes being
the levy against the income of the
building, assessed by the crown. siml-
lar to our Federal income taxes. Ten
ants in the more modern type OF
apartment buildings pay rates com
parable with ours and in some of the
downtown or city office buildings we
found rentals higher than anything
paid in New York. In one instance
$40 per square foot was paid.
DE luxe apartments, or super
Evening star., 1926-04-17

flats as they call them, are becom-
ing more and more popular. due to
the fact that the cost of maintaining
a London town house of many rooms
has become prohibitive for most Eng
lish postwar incomes. While you see
For Sale signs on many houses In
the fashionable Mayfair district, most
of the high grade fats throughout the
city are 100 per cent rented. In fact.
we saw few vacancies in any type of
apartment building.
Archaic Accommodations Found.
1T is difficult to compare their mod
crate priced apartment buildings to
ours as the accommodations are quite
different. Very few of their buildings
of this type have a central heating
plant, but depend entirely on small
coal CRATES. In fact, steam-heated
buildings are rather an unusual thing
in London. as is the apartment build
ing which supplies hot water at all
hours. Some of the new buildings
make an advertising feature of Cen
trail heating plants and constant hot
water. Many of the English resi-.
dences and the smartest clubs have no
furnace or central heating plant, but
depend on the famous English hob
CRATE.
The demand for apartments is ap-
parently very good. Judging from the
fact that there are no vacancies.
There has been. however, no consid-
cradle development in the two or
three room kitchenette apartment
type, which is SO popular in America
Whether this will come or not de-
pends on whether this type of living
quarters will appeal to the medium
salaried man, clerk and white-collar
Evening star., 1926-04-17

The introduction of American eff
cheney in building and construction
would go a long way toward solving
Europe'S present industrial problems,
according to a report given out
Yesterday by four American financiers
who have just completed an intensive
study of the London real estate and
building situation.
The survey, completed by four of
ficers of S. w. Straus & Co., is unique
in that it marks the first efforts ever
made by an American house engaged
in financing American building con-
struction to comb the European situa-
tion for useful facts and ideas. The
four officers who completed the studies
were Nicholas Roberts, Herbert 5.
Martin, Nicholas Il. Jones and Ralph
d. Kaufman.
With regard to the facts of special
interest to American building, real es-
tate and financial interests, Nicholas
Roberts, who headed the committee,
Yesterday made the following state
ment:
British Costs High.
1--WE found building costs in London
were about the same as in the large
American cities, Notwithstanding the
fact that our labor is paid about three
times as much on the average as
theirs. BrcklayerS in New York, for
example. are now getting Sl4 a day,
while the scale in London is $4 day.
With this striking difference in labor
costs it would seem that building costs
in London should be considerably low
er than here. but the seeming disCrep
ancy is accounted for in that the Eng
lish builder has been slow to adopt
A nVfn1 Ri.ia 4 hill
ing which we would erect in nine
months would require almost twice
that time in London.
Several Of the best English build
erS have made extensive studies of
American methods and one large
building concern has at present an
American building superintendent
brought over to organize their work
after the methods used here. 1t will
take some time to get our methods
in full swing, if this can ever be
accomplished. As an example, the
American superintendent on one job
attempted to introduce our hanging
scaffold, which enables bricklayers to
work much more conveniently and
rapidly. We were told that the British
workmen would not work on this
scaffold. The builder had to abandon
1t and erect a scaffold of iron. In
some of the smaller Jobs. we saw
derricks being worked with hand
power and it was quite noticeable
that the usual hustle and hustle of an
American job was lacking
1T is not only the equipment used
which slows up the job. but it is
also the lack of American methods of
planning beforehand for the flow of
materials on the job. I'm other words,
there. is not the coordination between
ali the sub-contractors that we have

does not base the loan on the cost
of the building, but establishes the
value of the building by capitaliZing
the net income on about a 7 per
cent basis. or as the Englishman
says. 'on 15.year purchase After
the value IL established in this way
the insurance company loans two
thirds of this value for 80 years.

discharge the debt at the end of 30
years and leave substantial sum
which goes to the insurance company
as its profit. 1t very often hap
pens that the owner of the building
Is able to borrow from the insurance
company as much or more than the
building costs him. provided the net
rentals will capitalize on a sufficient
value to make a larger loan sound
from the insurance company's stand
point. They are not particularly in
