Didn’t the public washrooms in Victoria park cost $400,000 or some such absurd number?
Keep in mind that, compared to a normal house, the washrooms have no kitchen, no bedrooms, no stairs, no garage, no appliances. They do need to be built to be sturdy like commercial buildings, but in every other way they are simpler; furthermore, one way to build sturdy is to do things like build a wall out of concrete blocks, not necessarily expensive techniques.
The point being, there is something wrong with our construction costs.
