THE
STEELE IDEA
sf-Vn. of J.sf,yi
COHSiJS
New Is the Time te Build
Construction Costs Have Been Reduced te Levels Which Stand the Test
of Geed Judgment and Industrial Executives Can Proceed
With Their Building Programs Without Fear of
Unusual Fluctuations
Steele Architects, Engineers and Constructors have investigated all phases of the
Construction Industry and they unhesitatingly state that present building costs are as low
as they will be for many months te come.
Philadelphia is four years behind in its building program, therefore, wc must work
upon a schedule 25 per cent greater than normal during the next five years, in order te
care for the unfilled construction requirements of the paBt four years.
Building material costs have been materially reduced, 'but this favorable condition
cannot last, as stocks are low and prices will naturally advance immediately upon the re
sumption of industrial construction en a large scale.
Laber is both plentiful and efficient, but no further cuts in wages paid te build
ing mechanics are expected at this time.
During the past three months we have pointed out te our clients and friends the
danger of delay in the inauguration of their building projects. In doing se we were guided
solely by a desire te save money for firms which employ us as their building counsel and
te serve the community.
We feel that industrial leaders are justified in building new, and by se doing they
can stimulate business.
The Steele Idea of Industrial Construction has been adopted by hundreds of in
dustrial executives and we will .gladly explain It In detail te any manufacturer who has
building problems.
