NEW BUILDINGS
MEANS TO DETERMINE
COST o. HOUSE GIVEN
Hocat ton of Site and Surroundings
Should Be Studied Before
Building.

To arrive at an approximate cost OF
trour house take the number OF CUBIC
feet and multiply it by the cost per
cubic foot, which varies in this locality
at the present time from As to 10 cents.
TO get the cubic feet in your house
multiply the area of your floor plan by
Khe height of your house from cellar 10
fridge. This height will be in the neigh
Bporhood of 80 feet, more or less, depend
ing on the height of your stories.
Inversely, take the amount OF money
kou have to spend. divide it by the cost
tner cubic foot. That will give you the
number of cubic feet. Divide this by
she height of your house and the result
Eill be the area of your second floor
plan. Then go to your architect and
let him make from your sketches a
workable scheme Tell him what your
taste is in the design. This will help
him.
: Let the architect work out the ele-
Nations from your plan, OF course tell
ang him the type OF house you ike.
Don't try to put house meant Tor a
fat lot on the side of a hill, or the
reverse. Study the old houses in your
hicinity. and il yo,Ir house belongs to
their type you will find that You will
be more satisfied with the result. Study
the law of contrast and keep the exte-
Eior and interior as simple as possible.
Focus the attention on certain salient
points, like a fireplace or an entrance
porch, and let the rest Of the room or
the rest Of the exterior be the back
ground for the fireplace or the porch.
This will save you expense and improve
your design.
