Spon's External Works and Landscape Price Book 2007 Book

Now in its 26th edition, "Spon's External Works and Landscape Price Book 2007" offers the only comprehensive source of information for detailed external works and landscape costs. It covers all the items to be found in hard and soft landscape contracts and forms an indispensable reference book for quantity surveyors, landscape architects, contractors and Local Authority managers - essential for compiling estimates, specifications, bills of quantities and works schedules - and no matter what the size of the project being undertaken. A full index and list of manufacturers and suppliers gives easy reference to all items. This year's edition takes the book into a completely new domain: the book is renamed the "External Works and Landscape Price Book" to reflect the growing amounts of hard-works and light civil engineering performed in the scope of a typical landscape contract; a new section deals exclusively with minor works or smaller projects or gardens; the minor works costs take into consideration the use of smaller machinery and slightly slower outputs than the major works, and the generally higher labour costs of a smaller workforce; many existing items in the major works section have been revised or rationalised so that clear distinctions between the major works and minor works sites can be assessed. All the standard features that you expect from "Spon's External Works & Landscape" are also included: material and measured work prices covering contract items from preliminaries and site clearance and encompassing every external works activity with full breakdowns into labour, materials and other components; detailed guidance on wage rates, landscape consultants' fee scales; Extensive Approximate Estimates section for rapid spot estimating; extensive coverage of soft landscape works; external construction work; playgrounds, sport and recreation work, etc. With its free CD-ROM containing "Spon's External Works & Landscape" price data, you can: produce estimate and tender documents; generate priced or unpriced schedules; adjust rates and data and enter rogue items; cut and paste prices into other tender documents; view complete book 'on screen'; and carry out an index search.
