Covid-19 and Brexit are having a significant impact on the construction industry and with UK inflation rising, nearly all materials have increased in price. Imports to the UK are subject to delays and higher costs causing a shortage of supply across a range of products, and combined with a lack of skilled and unskilled labour, some turbulent years are anticipated for the construction industry.

Laxton’s SMM Building Price Book - 2022 has been prepared, as with previous editions, for those who need access to the prices in the traditional format based on SMM7.

Laxton’s includes detailed, fully resourced, priced, easy to use libraries of everyday construction items checked and updated as at September/October 2021, essential information on preliminaries, wages, guide prices, dayworks, CDM, company information, tables etc and other general information updated for 2022. ‘Bleeds’ on each page make for quick and easy searching.

The NRM and SMM Book Prices have been held this year even though most of the prices within the book have increased! These price increases are across the board and indicate an up-to-date price book is more important than ever.
