Building & Pricing Guide 2025-2026: The Construction Industry Annual

Calculating building costs accurately and quoting remains a challenge. Contractors and Homeowners generally do not understand the complexities of quoting and often rely on m2 building rates. A quotation should include every resource required to build a structure with quantities and related prices. This includes labour, material, and specialist installations.
If quotations are presented in this manner the homeowner or client can compare apples with apples. A one-page quote is just not acceptable - you do not know what has been included or excluded.

The Building and Pricing Guide features comprehensive, accurate and useful information on which you can rely. It is updated each year to ensure that all the most relevant information is always at your fingertips.

For over three decades this publication has assisted contractors and clients in establishing accurate building costs. It is also used by architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, students, and government departments.
