  • Abstract:
    This paper evaluates methods used for the production of budget estimates for mechanical and electrical (M&E) services, and examines the availability and suitability of historic cost data for M&E services. The paper discusses results from multiple linear regression analysis and statistical tests that examined the significance of building form parameters in determining M&E services cost. The paper argues that current methods of budget estimating for building structure and fabric work are inappropriate for use With the M&E services elements; and that there is a needfor an improved understanding of the factors that affect the cost of M&E services. The paper concludes that the format and detail of the cost data published by the Building Cost Information Service is inadequate for the production of budget estimates for M&E services; and that a method of collecting more appropriate information is required.
