What is rate analysis?

Rate analysis breaks a unit rate into its underlying material, labour and plant resources with coefficients, so you can see exactly how the rate is built up and adjust it for your project.

Where do the resource rates come from?

From real, live construction projects. They are indicative — adjust for local market conditions before tender.
