An essential reference for those involved in calculating costs for mechanical and electrical works, this comprehensive price book addresses the current unfavourable market conditions affecting construction output and contractor orders. While some costs have risen, profits and overheads are declining, with expectations of further decreases. Price fluctuations vary across the industry. This edition remains the most thorough annual services engineering price book available, offering detailed pricing information for a wide range of mechanical and electrical services, along with higher-level costs for various systems and building applications. Key updates include a complete overhaul of unit and composite rates, a new section on the Façade System that explores the connection between building envelopes and cooling provisions, and a series of topical features that discuss factors impacting M&E costs. Additionally, design schematics for several M&E services are included, alongside the standard features expected from this resource. Buyers of this edition can access a free internet download of the price data, valid until the end of 2010, which now includes a versatile and powerful ebook for the first time.
