520 _aCasts a critical eye over the government Design for Manufacture project with its stated objective of building over 1 000 £60 000 new homes for first time buyers. Critics have pointed out that the £60 000 price tag is the construction cost per unit not the eventual sales price or total cost to the developer and does not include the price of the land. Of the limited output of 1 000 new homes only 30% will have to match this construction cost with no limit on the construction costs being applied to the other 70%. Lists the 10 prospective sites for the Design for Manufacture homes. Concludes that the extent of hidden costs in excess of £60 000 will only be revealed when the developers are selected in 2006.
