Whilst there was a reduced level of growth in the general construction industry during 2017, MEP output continued to outperform the wider market in terms of output and experienced tender price inflation of 3–5%. Key Influences � Continued skills shortages � Weakening pound against the Euro & US Dollar � Increase in commodity prices � Reduced supplier discounts and increased fixed price allowances 2017 Wage increases with both Mechanical and Electrical trades have been agreed. Before referring to prices or other information in the book, readers are advised to study the `Directions' which pre- cede each section of the Materials Costs/Measured Work Prices. As before, no allowance has been made in any of the sections for Value Added Tax. The order of the book reflects the order of the estimating process, from broad outline costs through to detailed unit rate items. The approximate estimating section has been revised to provide up to date key data in terms of square metre rates, all-in rates for key elements and selected specialist activities and elemental analyses on a comprehensive range of building types. The prime purpose of the Materials Costs/Measured Work Prices part is to provide industry average prices for mechanical and electrical services, giving a reasonably accurate indication of their likely cost. Supplementary information is included which will enable readers to make adjustments to suit their own requirements. It cannot be emphasized too strongly that it is not intended that these prices are used in the preparation of an actual tender without adjustment for the circumstances of the particular project in terms of productivity, locality, project size and current market conditions. Adjustments should be made to standard rates for time, location, local conditions, site constraints and any other factor likely to affect the costs of a specific scheme. Readers are referred to the build up of the gang rates, where allowances are included for supervision, labour related insurances, and where the per- centage allowances for overhead, profit and preliminaries are defined.
