I propose to take Questions Nos. 222 and 226 together.
The information sought in relation to average costs, to the extent and in the format to which it is readily available, is set out in the table. The average costs set out are based on the analysis of returned data from tendered social housing schemes over an extended period. Construction cost figures are reflective of building costs (including VAT) and also include normal site works and site development. All-in costs include cost of construction, land cost, professional fees, utility connections, site investigations/surveys, archaeology where appropriate, and contribution to public art. Abnormal costs are excluded from these figures.

My Department continues to maintain a clear focus on delivering value for money on both the construction and all-in costs of social housing projects.
