Abstract
Looking at the building from the economic point of view we must study the factors that control the prices of materials used in its production. The research discusses the possibility of reducing the costs of constructing the building on three approaches; design: both architectural or structural design in addition to design complementary and maintenance work; raw materials which are the major factor in the cost, even if they cannot reduce the price, but can be reduced by use, labor which is the factor that can be minimized by the development of the construction industry. The research aims through a set of preferences to reduce the construction cost of a class room unit of a school building. The research concluded that it could reduce the cost of constructing a class room unit significantly by architectural elements and the choice of architectural proportions of the class room so that reduces the perimeter, and it reduces the cost of the raw materials and labor used during construction.
