Spon’s Civil Engineering and Highway Works Price Book 2018 – PDF

SPON’S CIVIL ENGINEERING AND HIGHWAY WORKS PRICE BOOK 2018 by AECOM provides costs for civil and general engineering works and highway works. It breaks down labour, plant, and material elements, with updated labour rates. It offers cost guidance at various levels, ranging from broad functional costs to detailed unit costs, and it conforms to CESMM4 and the Highways Method of Measurement.

The 32^nd edition features a general update of prices with consultations with leading manufacturers, suppliers, and specialist contractors. In line with changes in the labour force and the devaluation of the pound, adjustments were made to the scope, range, and detail of information to help users allocate resources and outputs effectively. Part 4’s resource costing is supplemented by further advice on output factors in Part 10. Rail rates, which are currently overstretching, were also heavily revised.

Instead of using gang rates, the book primarily used the man hours methodology to clarify labour costs and output.
