      In England, apparently the cost so far for the lower Thames crossing is around 266 million and nothing has been built yet!

    The cost of a bicycle shed and a family house have two things in common - builders that overcharge and a government that has failed to ensure a proper supply of homes for the growing population.

    Here's a question. How many years would one individual paying your yearly income tax bill take in order to pay this off. Is any person out there willing to work that many years to pay for this

    Thing is, it didn’t cost the same as a house , it cost the same to build as a very very big house.

    Any contract for public works also has huge premium put on by those competing for the work. In NI a school path ramp was costed at 15k when a local builder said he would do it for 4k. But the government costing service is shocking bad but not corrupt

    Similar issue here with our council. Spent over 500k in a bike rack that hardly gets used, and the council is pushing through a 15% hike this year in local rates. They just see the tax payer as an open cheque book for all their hairbrained green projects. Disgraceful...

    I could build these sheds from products and tools bought from a large hardware store.
    And I'm not a builder/carpenter/metal worker, I'm a computer programmer. But I have renovated 1 house, 2 apartments, and 1 dental clinic.

    Why hasnt the Company in charge of Constructing and Costing this Monstrosity of a shelter been taken to account in front of the PAC over the costing of this Shelter, so as the General Public have an answer to how much taxpayers money has been wasted on this project. Does No one in government care about this waste of taxpayers money. No Lessons learned to date or accountability whatsoever. This is a Criminal level of Profiteering.

    I heard this morning on Radio 1 that 3 bedroom apartments in Dublin were being offered at 497,000 euros.I did'nt get to hear the location..They say the builders of the Childrens Hosp. Are taking us for a ride.They say the Builder of the Gov. BIKE shed took us for a ride.Surely apartments at nearly half a million are another ride.I say us because we the taxpayers are being ignored.,yet we foot the bills.Do Dail Ministers listen to ordinary citizens or are they too busy licking you know what in Brusxels.

    It seems very expensive but I reckon the quality is A1 while the quality of a house built by some builders out there is extremely poor. Tax payers paying for both. It probably depends when it was built as steel did double during covid, the glazing is structural, and extent of the granite paving unknown but granite is expensive to purchase. Street furniture not cheap either. Labour rates through the roof
    If the government could look at turnkey housing developments, the quality is shocking. social housing is creating a construction bubble, there would be a constuction recession only for it.
