Publisher's Synopsis
SPON'S CIVIL ENGINEERING AND HIGHWAY WORKS PRICE BOOK 2016 from AECOM gives costs for both general and civil engineering works and highway works. It is essential for engineering projects which do not follow a tradition cost break down and is structured for the industry - essential in the volatile and high cost infrastructure market. It provides a full breakdown of labour, plant and material elements, with labour rates updated in line with the latest CIJC wage agreement. It is an essential component of infrastructure estimating maturity, benchmarking and cost intelligence and gives sound guidance for estimators, contractors and clients.
This 30th edition incorporates a comprehensive review throughout:
- Formatted in accordance with CESSM4 for civils works and MMHW for highways works.
- previously separated supply and installation rates for rail items are now combined to give all-in rates.
- All rates are based on verified industry costs to reflect current price levels.
- Serves as a good tool for estimating completeness and robustness, but also looks at the nitty gritty behind the big figures in the estimate.
- Works to provide a checklist of all construction items when preparing cost estimates or bills of quantities.
- Ideal for quick benchmarking when delivering early cost advice for your projects throughout the design stages and then as a cost control tool during post contract works.
