ABSTRACT

Unit Costs (Ancillary Building Works) INTRODUCTORY NOTES This part enables the user to include within the estimate for Ancillary Building Works which may be associated with a Civil / Engineering project but, because of the diversity which can occur on the Specification for these Works, cannot be priced as accurately as Unit Cost Items. Additionally, as such works form only a minor percentage of an overall Civil Engineering Budget, then the need for such accuracy in the budget is not as critical. Therefore, the rates given within this Part are based upon an average range for each item to allow the user discretionary use based upon more detailed knowledge of the specific project. Should however more detailed pricing information be required then reference should be made to the latest edition of: SPON’S ARCHITECTS’ AND BUILDERS’ PRICE BOOK SPON’S EXTERNAL WORKS AND LANDSCAPE PRICE BOOK SPON’S MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL SERVICES PRICE BOOK Also included in this part are items which allow the user to prepare order of cost estimates for various areas of Civil Engineering Works more accurately than by using Part 12: Approximate Estimates but without the necessity to complete the full unit cost estimate. Adjustments should be made to the rates shown to allow for time, location, local conditions, site constraints and any other factors likely to affect the cost of the specific scheme.
