CapIT is the first online system of its kind in the world,
allowing users to estimate cost and embodied carbon values for
construction activities.
CapIT has been developed by our Economic Research Unit in direct
response to requests to help cap and reduce cost and carbon values
for construction projects.

A powerful yet simple to use online estimating system that enables
users to completely control and audit their estimates.
Users can access a regularly updated wealth of data, amend it to
suit project requirements and even add to it.
Libraries and databases that are available for subscription
on the CapIT online estimating system are:
UK Building Carbon & Price BookHutchins
UK Building Costs Blackbook —
Capital Cost and Embodied CO2 Guide This was the first
construction price book to ever include estimates of embodied
carbon dioxide for activities of work. The UK building Costs
Blackbook retains the accurate pricing that has made this price
book a definitive guide for all construction trades and professions
in the buildings sector. Databases for both major works (measured
in accordance with SMM7), and small works (measured in accordance
with SMM6) are both available.
CESMM3 Carbon & Price Book
CESMM3 Carbon & Price BookThe defininitive price book for
civil engineering works as published by the Instiution of Civil
Engineers. For the first time ever, the CESMM3 Price Database now
includes embodied carbon values for every material and unit of
work, enabling users to calculate not just the economic, but also
the carbon impact of every project they undertake.
Access the data in these industry recognised titles on
our
powerful online estimating system - CapIT.

| Key Points |
| Control your carbon. For the first
time ever, estimate the embodied
carbon value of every construction
work activity on line. |
|
Zone in on the optimum
scenario. Create alternate versions
of a project and easily compare them
with our snapshot function. |
|
Fully up-to-date. Cost and carbon
data prepared and updated quarterly
with Franklin + Andrews' unparalled
knowledge and expertise. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Tailored to fit. Audit and change
the rate build-us, add your own
date items or carbon values. |
|
In the office and on site.
This system has been designed to be
used on PDA's - perfect for consulting
on site. |
|
Single resource for civils and
building data. Contains all carbon
and cost data from the ICE's
CESMM3 Carbon & Price Book and
the Hutchins UK Building Blackbook. |

|
| Integrate with your workflow.
CapIT allows you to download the
data into spreadsheets so you can
seamlessly integrate carbon and cost
estimates into your existing working
practices. |
|
Establish a standard. Generate
consistent reports which are easy to
compare and can be included in
project option evaluations, estimates,
tenders and value for money studies. |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| 'Where and when' specific
costs. Specify the region and time
of your project to get the most precise
costing. |
|
Double your efficiency. Avoid
quantifying the project twice by
integrating your carbon and cost
calculations. |
