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

Product Information

In the NRM1 Cost Management Handbook, David Benge explains in clear terms how NRM1 is meant to be used in familiar quantity surveying tasks, as well as a range of activities of crucial importance for professionals in years to come.

In the NRM1 Cost Management Handbook , David Benge explains in clear terms how NRM1 is meant to be used in familiar quantity surveying tasks, as well as a range of activities of crucial importance for professionals in years to come. By not explicitly connecting to this “bottom up” approach, NRM has effectively distanced itself from the NEC3-led world of infrastructure and limited its usefulness to building projects. Each cost management cycle phase is described below, along with the activities needed to complete it.

There is a section on risk and how bills of quantities should be codified and in addition there is a typical example of a structure for use when procurement is based on work packages instead of bills of quantities.use the elemental breakdown and cost structures, together with the coding system developed for NRM1, to effectively integrate cost management with Building Information Modelling (BIM).

In the context of building projects, cost management involves the overall planning, co-ordination, control and reporting of all cost-related aspects from initiation to operation and maintenance.The Practical Law team and our guest bloggers share their experience and opinions relating to construction and engineering law and projects. It provides in depth guidance on the quantification of building works for the purpose of preparing cost estimates and cost plans. This part of NRM2 begins by describing the protocols and use of the tabulated rules of measurement document.

The purpose is to establish if the proposed building project is affordable and if so, to set a realistic cost limit for the development project.Therefore, all project team members must remain mindful of their joint responsibility for cost management and draw to the attention of the employer, or project manager, anything that might affect cost. NB The New Rules of Measurement are accompanied by the ' Black Book', the QS and construction standards. It seemed that Nirvana was being revealed to us; a new world of accurate cost estimates, clear and transparent cost data and measurable whole life value.

greater cross-industry working, the introduction of Building Information Modelling and effectively analysing the costs of construction projects” ref RICS. There are other classification schemes and related systems in use in the global construction industry, and sometimes it’s necessary to use more than one for specific purposes in a project.Aside from the obvious fact that the JCT Standard Building Contract, 2011 edition (SBC11) With Quantities form will need updating to refer to NRM2 rather than SMM7, I imagine the main interest for lawyers in the new publications will lie in the terms on which QSs are appointed in future. 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. After the Foreword the NRM2 opens up with a General section, that outlines the big picture of the RICS New Rules of Measurement Suite and how NRM2 fits into the whole NRM project; that is estimating and cost planning through to whole life costs.
