Spon's Civil Engineering and Highway Works Price Book 2018Edizione 1

SPON'S CIVIL ENGINEERING AND HIGHWAY WORKS PRICE BOOK 2018 from AECOM gives costs for both general and civil engineering works and highway works. It provides a full breakdown of labour, plant and material elements, with labour rates updated. cost guidance is given at a number of levels, varying from the more general functional costs to detailed unit costs, and in conformity with CESMM4 and the Highways Method of Measurement.

This 32nd edition incorporates a general update of prices in consultation with leading manufacturers, suppliers and specialist contractors -- especially in line with changes in the labour force and devaluation of the pound:

• Adjustments to the scope, range and detail of information help the user adjust unit costs with reference to allocated resources and outputs
• Resource costing in Part 4 is supplemented by the further advice on output factors in Part 10.
• Rail rates have been heavily revised, as the rail sector is currently overstretched.
• Man hours methodology has been generally used instead of gang rates, clarifying labour costs and output
