The thing about build cost is that when you invest points into it, you only gain benefit from it *from the remainder of the reset*. Most people don't think about it too deeply about it.
8 points for -1.3% construction costs. But the -1.3% costs only applies for every remainder acre you intend to build for the rest of the set. If you put 8 points into it while you are at 50k land, and if your land goal is 60k land, then you are only getting that -1.3% on the next 10k land you are building.
There is a breakeven point where it no longer makes sense to invest in it, and this happens just a bit before you decide to stop grabbing/gaining land for the rest of the reset.
The hard part is calculating whether this is worth more than -expenses. The same 8 points could go into -0.8% expenses, which will also only work for the remainder of the reset, but the "remainder of the reset" could possibly be more than what you save in build costs.
