Taken from the preface:
As a definite sum forms part of the title of this book, it is _Briefly, the aim has been to illustrate a number of houses which have cost not more than £1,000 to build. That means the builder's contract, including such structural items as grates, bath, sink, etc. The architect's fees are additional to this sum, and so is the cost of the site, its fencing and lay-out.

All the houses illustrated in this book have been built since the War, and they have all been designed by architects. With a few exceptions, they have cost less than £1,000, and some have been built for less than £700.
