International comparison of elemental classification
Martin, Joe
The RICS in conjunction with CEEC (Comite European des Economistes de la Construction) have developed a Code of Measurement for Cost Planning. The code provides a standard basis for the sub-division of costs and for measuring buildings to facilitate pan European budgeting, cost comparison and analysis at management level. The structure of the code is organised to permit the use of existing national elemental classification systems at a more detailed level. This paper gives the background to and details of the CEEC Code and, in order to show how it can be applied in other countries, relates it to the ASTM Uniformat II Elemental Classification. The CEEC is made up of organisations representing construction economists from Belgium, Ireland, Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Italy and the UK.
