ABSTRACT
The first five tables are based on the statistics on the first page of each country section, the remainder are drawn from construction cost data in each country section. Each table is prefaced by explanatory notes. There are inherent dangers in attempting to compare international data, particularly where two sets of data are used (e.g.: construction output and population) and, even more so, when exchange rates are used. While these tables can provide useful initial comparisons between countries they should, nevertheless, be used with caution.
