PrefaceAssessing the total cost of a construction project is a continuous process that commences when the client asks his professional advisors what it will cost. It ends when the cheque for the release of the last portion of the retention is paid and the final account is settled. Whether a project is profitable or not can often depend on decisions taken at the first stages of its life. The people who carry out this assessment bear the responsibility of deciding whether the cost information available at the time warrants spending further time and money investigating the viability of a project that is usually still at the conceptual stage. It is vital, therefore, that the most accurate methods of calculating the probable costs of construction are used and I hope that the information in this book will help clients, developers, architects, engineers and surveyors involved in this process. Time spent on the appraisal of projects that do not proceed is not always wasted lessons can be learnt that will help the next project. The greater waste lies in allowing jobs to proceed without the people making the key decisions having the best cost information available to them. It is not possible to provide totally accurate cost data in the early stages of a jobonly a historical analysis of the final account can do that. But guidelines can be set out that should allow the client commissioning the work to help make the right decision before becoming contractually committed to spending large sums of money on land purchase, professional fees and construction costs. On a well-managed project, the cost plan will be monitored continuously as changes are made to the original design or for other reasons. If the first-stage budget is based on reliable cost data, the project will have a better chance of being completed within budget. I have received a great deal of help in the preparation of this book and would like to thank those suppliers and contractors who gave me their time and support. The information in Estimating Data on civil engineering outputs is based on data in Spons Civil Engineering and Highways Price Book 2006 edited by Davis Langdon. Although every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information, neither the Publishers nor I can accept any type of liability resulting from the use of the contents. On a more positive note, I would welcome constructive criticism of ways to make the contents more relevant to the changing needs of the construction industry for future editions.

IntroductionThis second edition of Spons First Stage Estimating Handbook is aimed at all members of the construction team who are involved in assessing construction costs during the early stages of the development of a project. There are many factors that can affect the profitability of a job over which the construction team has little or no control. It is important, therefore, that areas that can be influenced by good management skills should be given special attention. This applies particularly to the first stage estimating process when a solid base of the projects financial position can be established. The contents have been laid out in the order that most projects are financially assessed. The quality of the cost information, however, is almost wholly dependent upon the quality of the specification and design information available at that stage of the appraisal. Chapter 1 lists square metre rates for building and M & E work for a wide variety of building types. The rates are expressed in a range based on historical costs and should provide a client with a broad indication of likely costs. Chapter 2 fulfils the same function but the costs are given in unit costs, e.g. the cost per cinema seat or per cover in a restaurant. This method of assessment can be surprisingly accurate but should always be backed up by more detailed methods of cost appraisal. Chapter 3 contains elemental cost analyses of 32 different types of buildings. These analyses provide data on the percentage and cost breakdown of 24 elements for each building and are a useful tool in identifying imbalances between the elements of different buildings. Chapter 4 includes unit rates for building, landscaping, civil engineering, M&E and alteration work. Where possible, composite rates are displayed that combine several different descriptions to provide a single rate for separate but linked activities. For example, excavation, concrete and brickwork up to DPC level are combined to produce a single linear metre rate for strip foundations. The use of composite rates can save valuable time in the preparation of the cost plan. Where item descriptions do not lend themselves to be combined with others they are listed as principal rates. Chapter 5 provides indices reflecting historical costs of construction costs and tender prices. Chapter 6 deals with property insurance and contains an example of re-building costs for insurance purposes. Chapter 7 sets out the cost of employing professional advisors whose fees are now negotiable and not mandatory. Chapter 8 contains information on life cycle costing which is now recognised as an important factor in the assessment of overall construction costs. Chapter 9 includes lists of useful addresses. Chapter 10 contains information that may be useful when preparing a first stage estimate.

At this stage of a project the information available is limited and, although the brief from a client can be minimal, an approximation of costs must still be prepared. Here is a simple example. It is proposed to construct a single story distribution warehouse (shell only) size 6,000 square metres in the South West of England. An outline plan has been prepared showing parking areas and a road layout. It is known that local contractors are operating at full capacity so tender levels are expected to be high. The work would commence in April 2006 with a nine month construction period. Main building

They also exclude any development grants or subsidies that may be available in the area involved.

3 Elemental costsThis chapter contains elemental cost breakdowns for building, mechanical and electrical work. The building work is comprised of 33 different types in 8 categories, each building broken down into 24 cost elements. The M & E section contains elemental costs of 6 types of buildings. The cost data should be used with caution because imbalances can occur in the use of elemental costs in isolation. The figures are an amalgam of the costs for a range of buildings in each category and represent a broad indication of costs rather than an accurate statement of detail. Nevertheless, the information provided should be an invaluable tool in assessing the relative values of elements in different buildings. The tables will be particularly useful in the early cost planning process and also in the evaluation of tenders. The costs cover building work only and exclude the costs of drainage, external works, contingency sums, professional fees and VAT, Due to rounding off there may be some minor discrepancies in individual elemental costs and totals. The figures are based on costs prevailing in the first quarter of 2006. The following buildings are included.

4 Composite and principal ratesWhen the appraisal of a project moves beyond the square metre stage, it is likely that the client will commission a cost plan to be prepared. This entails taking off rough quantities and applying global rates to produce an approximate cost of the project. These rates are the result of combining various item descriptions and costs into what are called composite rates. Not all items can be combined with others to provide composite rates so principal rates are also included if their value is significant to the cost plan. The following rates are presented under headings in the same order as the elements in Chapter 3.

BUILDING WORK PRELIMINARIES These will usually be assessed by referring to the needs of each particular project but a figure of 7.5 to 12.5% of the construction costs is normal depending upon the nature of the project.
