How accurate is Cost of Construction mentioned on permit?

A detached quad consisting of four one bed one bath units will cost significantly more than an infill quad consisting of four one bed one bath units etc..Lastly, there are very few zoning districts in Philadelphia that would allow for a 4 unit building to be constructed in Philadelphia on a parcel that is only 1,000 SF and from a practical standpoint the units will be quite small when you consider the need for open area and common halls/stairs.
