NRM 1 - Order of Cost Estimating and Cost Planning for Capital Building Works: NRM 1 (New Rules of Measurement)

Product Information

begin addressing a common standard for life cycle cost planning and procurement of capital building works, and the life cycle of replacement and maintenance works. Cost plan = a critical breakdown of the cost limit for the building into cost targets for each element.

NRM2 (detailed rules of measurement for building works) is probably the least revolutionary element of the new suite. Other recent developments that have resulted in the need for a revised edition include the publication of a new RIBA Plan of Work (2020), which provides a framework for the analysis of construction costs.
