Cost Review Study 2010
The Government published on 21 December 2010 the report of an investigation into how to reduce the costs of delivery of civil engineering works for major infrastructure projects.
The report identifies a number of drivers for the higher cost of construction in the UK compared to other EU countries and supports the view that higher costs for UK infrastructure are mainly generated in the early project formulation and pre-construction phases. Efficiency improvements could lower the costs of delivery and realise potential benefits of £2-3 billion per annum.
A number of specific areas where the Government is considering taking action to deliver these benefits have been identified. A prioritised work programme for implementation will be finalised and announced around the time of Budget 2011.
