Publisher's Synopsis
Ensure value for money in future infrastructure projects, while surviving the current deep recession
SPON'S CIVIL ENGINEERING AND HIGHWAY WORKS PRICE BOOK 2013 is more than just a price book. It provides a comprehensive work manual for the UK's civil engineering, surveying and construction business. It gives costs for both general and civil engineering works and highway works, and shows a full breakdown of labour, plant and material elements, with labour rates updated in line with the latest CIJC wage agreement.
Use the access code inside the back cover of the book to get set up with internet access to this 2013 edition until the end of December 2013. We now provide Spon's Online, a versatile and powerful online data viewing package, which replaces the estimating software and ebook of recent years and which is no longer supplied with the hard copy book.
This 27th edition, in its easy-to-read format, incorporates a comprehensive review throughout:
- assumptions on overheads and profits and on preliminaries have been kept low
- labour rates have been adjusted to today's rates
- higher oil prices have significantly pushed up the prices of coated macadam and asphalt; bitumen, resin & rubber latex flooring; and liquid applied coatings
Structured to comply with CESMM3 and MMHW, the book includes prices and rates covering the key items that make a general civil or highway construction project - from bollards to built in pipes and cesspools to cycle stands. In a time when it is essential to gain 'competitive advantage' in an increasingly congested market, this price book provides instant-access cost information and is a one-stop reference.
