ffice was 0.2% lower than in the first quarter of 1982 and 1.8% lower than in the last quarter of 1982(11). The Tender
Price Index for public building projects prepared by the
Architectural Office and the Tender Price Index for public housing projects prepared by the Housing Department were also lower, by 18% and 7% respectively, in the first quarter of this year than in the same period last year. The difference between the changes in the various indexes was probably due to
variations in profit margins.
