520 _aThis publication describes the rules for preparing an elemental cost analysis in standard BCIS format. It sets out: the principles of analysis; instructions on the information required to complete a costs analysis; general definitions; definitions of the elements and sub-elements and element unit quantities.
520 _aContains example analysis forms; describes the BCIS elemental XML schema and the BCIS analysis writer programme. More detailed analysis relates costs of specific forms of construction with the element shown by 'all-in' unit rates. Supporting information on contract, design/shape and market factors is defined so that the costs analysed can be fully understood. The aim has been to produce standardisation of cost analyses and a single format for presentation.
