This publication marks an exciting time in the industry, one where we can begin to quantify the environmental impacts of our building decisions with greater ease. Building owners, operators and businesses are being placed under pressure to reduce their carbon emissions. This Carbon measure is going to become increasingly influential as we move into times of Carbon taxation and trading to comply with the 80% reduction agreed in the UK Climate Change Act.

Three ways that ONLY this book can help you:

• We track thousands of resource prices to help you stay on top of recent price changes in the industry. You can now do this more regularly with your free quarterly updated books during 2011.
• Measure the Carbon Footprint of your construction activities at the same time as estimating the cost.
• Be able to consider both cost and carbon emissions in your specification decisions and demonstrate to your clients or stakeholders your awareness of environmental impacts.

Relying on material price lists in the current economic market is just not enough. As material costs are rising and tender prices are falling you need to know what the real market prices are. In recognition of these difficult times within our industry, Franklin + Andrews give you, the user, the ability to buy the most up to date, definitive guide for Cost and embodied Carbon that you really need.
