ABSTRACT
The rates in the Schedule of Basic Plant Charges are intended to apply solely to daywork carried out under and incidental to a Building Contract. The rates apply to plant and machinery already on site, whether hired or owned by the Contractor. The rates, unless otherwise stated, include the cost of fuel and power of every description, lubricating oils, grease, maintenance, sharpening of tools, replacement of spare parts, all consumable stores and for licences and insurances applicable to items of plant. The rates, unless otherwise stated, do not include the costs of drivers and attendants. The rates in the Schedule are base costs and may be subject to an overall adjustment for price movement, overheads and profit, quoted by the Contractor prior to the placing of the Contract. The rates should be applied to the time during which the plant is actually engaged in daywork.
