2011 - UK - Highway Costing Book

"Little Black Book 2010-2011" prepared by Mott MacDonald (UK); it presents benchmark costs for road construction and maintenance, including for many specific sub-categories of road works and road asset management activities. This a very useful booklet which provides answers to those of us who are sometimes wondering if prices for specific contracts are high or low, or who would like to make rough cost estimates for projects.

While the benchmark prices are given for the UK, there are "location adjustment factors" for many countries and regions around the world.

We are Lis Pedersen and Chris Bennett. We’ve been married over 30 years and each found our way to New Zealand in the early 1980s from Denmark and Canada respectively. Golden Bay has been our happy place for almost 20 years and we are now based in Pohara just above the beach, with our two cats Coco and Max.
