Spon's Architects' and Builders' Price Book 2012

Spon’s Architects’ and Builders’ Price Book 2012, compiled by Davis Langdon, provides the most accurate, detailed and professionally relevant construction price information currently available for the UK. Its unique Tender Index, updated through the year, provides an ongoing reality check and adjustment for changing market conditions. This is the only price book which sets out a detailed cost base for contracts exceeding £3,500,000 in value.
