Estimate from the Cubic Contents. This dwelling contains 7,305 cubic feet, which, at £132 for the whole, is between old. and 6d. per foot; but, as before observed, contractors about London generally deduct a per centage from their estimates, according to the kind of building to be erected : this percentage, for ornamental buildings, is about ten per cent. ; but plain buildings, such as the one above given, may admit of a deduction from the estimate of fifteen per cent, which would reduce the amount to about £155.
