Excerpt from Concrete Cottages, Small Garages and Farm Buildings
Cottage construction involves much consideration on account of the limitations of expenditure, which essentially form one of the most important factors in the design and execution of this class of work, and for this reason the subject is an interesting one.
At the same time the question of satisfactory and economical cottage building is one of national interest, owing tothe urgent need of healthy and convenient dwellings for all classes of workers who cannot afford to pay anything but the lowest of rentals and with the constant increase in the price of materials and labour the problem becomes more and more difficult with the progress of time.
The use of concrete for all the main portions of the structure has increased during the last few years and this material can claim many advantages over other materials as regards initial cost, durability and ease of execution which render it worthy of study as a possible solution to the problem.
There are many points to be considered 'in cottage work and it is necessary to develop a type of building which will combine sound work with economy. This can, only be accomplished by a skilful application of cheap and efficient construction to a well-planned simple and convenient design.
