PREFACE PREFACE BCIS WESSEX SMM7 ESTIMATING PRICE BOOK 14TH EDITION Preface to the 14th edition The unit rates in this, the latest edition of the BCIS Wessex SMM7 Estimating Price Book, are compiled from over 500,000 price elements. Each unit rate and element has been compiled to reflect the realistic and competitive pricing levels predominant within the industry; the latest materials and specifications have been incorporated where applicable. The latest available amendments to Professional information, Average Building Prices, Town and Country Planning Regulations Fees for Applications and Deemed Applications, Building Regulations Prescribed fees etc. and Cost Limits and Allowances, reproduced by kind permission of the Professional and Public Bodies, have been incorporated. Information and guidance has also been included with regard to land fill tax and land decontamination. Users' attention is drawn to the fact that all prices in the BCIS Wessex SMM7 Estimating Price Book exclude VAT and also exclude overhead allowances and profit. MATERIAL PRICES Material prices used in this book are based on National average best trade prices. The base date used for these materials costs is 1st July 2008. LABOUR RATES The SMM7 Estimating Price Book is based on the Construction Industry Joint Council wage agreement. The wage rates agreed by the Joint Industry Board for Plumbing and Mechanical Engineering Services in England and Wales have been used where applicable. PLUS RATES No allowance has been made within the labour prices for plus rates. However, if local economic circumstances dictate that such enhancements are appropriate, then a "plus rate" may be easily introduced into the calculation. This philosophy applies to CIJC, BATJIC and the JIBPMES wage rate calculations. We would recommend that users study the introduction, Section IB, to familiarise themselves with the basis for pricing this year.
