SummaryThis paper attempts to plot the course of residential building in the South Wales Coalfield2 during the period 1851‐1913. The primary material is similar to that used by the late Mr. Bernard Weber in his path‐breaking article, "A New Index of Residential Construction, 1838‐1950."3One of the duties imposed on local authorities by the Health Act of 1848 was the drawing up, and enforcement, of Building Bye‐Laws, based on model bye‐laws issued by the Central Board of Health. Before any building could be erected, the local boards, guided by the Surveyors, had to approve the plan. Many local authorities have records showing details of the plans approved, and these form the main source of our information.

ABSTRACT:London historians marvel at London's population growth during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, but never at how those hundreds of thousands of people got housed. It did not just 'happen'; building tens of thousands of houses required marshalling land, money, materials and labour, and directing them at specific building sites. The task was performed by a myriad of small-scale builders from most walks of life, projectors who used contracts to have work done they could not perform themselves. All this was done in an environment of considerable risk in building new houses because of royal prohibitions against doing so, and facing large fines, sometimes imprisonment, and their new houses pulled down.

Sil'on tient compte de leur occupation et de leur position sociable, les entrepreneurs en construction not un statut qui les place entre les ouvriers et les hommes d'affaires. L'organisation de l'industrie du bâtiment est en grande partie responsable de cet état de choses. L'image que l'entrepreneur se crée de sa position constitue aussi un facteur important. Issus en général des classes laborieuses, les entrepreneurs ont tendance áévaluer leurs activités á partir de la perspective propre á l'ouvrier. Cest surtout dans la mesure où il réussit á se libérer de ce point de vue, qu'un entrepreneur réussira á s'accommoder des contingences du monde des affaires.
