Standard Form of Cost Analysis

Updated for the first time in almost 40 years, the Standard Form of Cost Analysis for building projects is used throughout the UK to provide data.  This data allows comparisons to be made between the cost of achieving various building functions in one project with that of achieving equivalent functions in other projects.

This new 3rd edition of the Standard Form of Cost Analysis - Principles, Instructions and Definitions clarifies the definitions and expands the sub-elements in the light of modern construction techniques, and takes into account questions of interpretation raised by users.

The Standard Form of Cost Analysis sets out: 

  • the principles of analysis
  • instructions on the information required to complete a cost analysis
  • general definitions
  • definitions of the elements and sub-elements
  • element unit quantities.
