A new edition of the BCIS Dilapidations Price Book was published in July 2008. A vital source of reliable and independent cost information for anyone providing cost advice to landlords or tenants on the costs of complying with Schedules of Dilapidations.

In the past cost data for Schedules of Dilapidations has come from a variety of sources and had to be adapted for the needs of non-residential buildings. This process took time and increased the likelihood of dispute. Now, BCIS has solved that problem by providing a Price Book specifically for Schedules of Dilapidations.

Contents:

Part 1: Background information to the structure and use of the price data and guidance.

Part 2: Key principles to Dilapidations, and the quantifying and preparing claims using schedules of dilapidations.

Part 3: Measured Rates for each Building Element generally set out for Removal; Cleaning, Repair and Reinstatement, and New Work

Part 4: General guidance and basis to the rates for labour, scaffolding and plant together with materials prices used in the Price Book. Information on the labour constants used in the Price Book is also provided.

Part 5: Further sources of supporting information on Dilapidations for practitioners.
