Introduction

The rates contained in Prices for Measured Works – Major Works are intended to apply to a project in the outer London area costing about £3,500,000 (including Preliminaries) and assume that reasonable quantities of all types of work are required. Similarly it has been necessary to assume that the size of the project warrants the subletting of all types of work normally sublet. Adjustments should be made to standard rates for time, location, local conditions, site constraints and any other factors likely to affect costs of a specific scheme.
