Construction, Building, UK National Schedule of Rates LiveUpDate Advanced, via Excel.

Rates for Estimating & Valuation of Variations (Software Tool for the UK) Building, Maintenance and Construction Industry...

Our Live-Up-Date schedule of rates is unrivalled, we have brought together many years of historic output performance information, introduced new methods and productivity gains and fused this with pure dataflow directly from manufacturers and distributors.  The result is extraordinarily powerful, improving your productivity and placing you ahead of your competitors.  

 Over 18,000 descriptions and rates, more than One Million data points, covering over 240 specialisation categories of building/maintenance works

It's true to say that there is much protectionism in the UK building industry, resulting in product and price information not being open and transparent.  How many times have you been frustrated by suppliers and specialists making it hard to get hold of their price and related product data, you get it eventually, even if it's only very specific to your query, but that process has just wasted your time, your valuable time, that you can never get back.

So we've spent the time and continue to flow current information directly to you.  So is that valuable?  Well let's say that it takes you 15 minutes to build-up a rate, that's discounting any delays caused by trying to get information from suppliers, distributors and specialist sub-contractors etc. So a minimum of 15 minutes, spent every hour of the working day, every day of the week, for every week, with no breaks or holidays, for 2 years, even then you would not have produced the rates contained within our schedule.  It would take you well over 2 years and then you'd have to start again, because your initial rates are two years out of date... the proverbial Forth Bridge.  So yeah, it's valuable on that basis alone...

It's simply light years ahead of other schedules of rates, it's has Live-Up-Date

The current schedule of rates out there don't benefit you from changing information and changing situations.  So we've made our schedule with Live-Up-Date...  So if material costs go up, then so do the rates for 12 months from the purchase point.

What's covered in this Live-Up-Date Schedule of Rates...

Take a look at the work categories included, all 244 of them, that's over 5,000 ave data points per section, to give you an idea, there are over 2,000 rates in the electrical section alone...

Below is a screenshot of the Schedule of Rates at the start of the electrical section, it's easy to see the work section (NBS/SMM/CPI) reference, the description of works, the unit of measure, the unit rate and the split between labour, materials and plant.

UK National Schedule of Rates, screenshot of part of the Electrical Works Section Live-Up-Date Advanced

At the top right of the screenshot you can see a button, 'Update' this links the sheet directly to a web server to get data and ensure your schedule is upto date.

 

Remember though, that you are in control of the schedule of rates, you can change all of the labour rates which apply to the 36 work categories and the waste factors and the material and plant uplifts too.  The screenshot below shows some of the work categories where you can adjust and apply your labour rates etc directly to the schedule of rates, again at the click of a button.  When we send you the schedule, it is populated with our current record of likely hourly rates commanded by specialist sub-contract Limited Companies, with an uplift to cover overhead recovery.  But as stated above, these are for you to change, if you like, to reflect how you work and want or have to work differently on different projects.

It's Available now...

The above schedule has been tested and is now available to purchase from October 2016, as promised.  You can buy it now and enjoy increased productivity today...
