Wow... that's only £763,636 per job.


Construction started in 2009, and will finish in 2018. That's 9-ish
years of work, so 85 grand per year per job on average. When you consider
things like employer's NI, overheads such as paying for office space and
power, the cost of equipment used and materials consumed, and the cost of
land purchased, it seems quite a reasonable rate per hour worked to be
honest.
