On 2002 edition: "The best builder's price book just got better! Price books can be much of a muchness. The de facto standard has this year improved dramatically by including all the information not just in hardback form, but on CD as well. So now - like me - you can travel with your laptop and the CD and know that those labour constants or price indications are just a few mouse clicks away and not stuck on a shelf back at your office. Essential purchase!" - Reviewer from Wymondham, Norfolk (Amazon)

Synopsis of the book

Spon’s A & B Price Book is the most detailed, professionally relevant source of construction price information currently available for the UK. With competition growing fiercer throughout the industry and with recent pressure on materials due to rising commodity prices, the A & B's unique Tender Index and checks against tenders are more valuable than ever before.

This is the only price book that gives a detailed cost base in a way that allows adjustment for market conditions that affect building prices for Major Works contracts exceeding £3,300,000 in value.

Three major changes have been made to this 133rd edition:

1. All sections have re-arranged to place more emphasis on the Approximate Estimates section

2. A new section deals with Sustainability, including indicative costs

3. A list of useful web-sites of comparative prices is given at the end of Tables and Memoranda.
