SPON Press Books

Compiled by the cost consultancy team at AECOM, the new 2026 editions of the Spon’s Price Books help you manage your projects over the next 12 months through this challenging period of high inflation and financial uncertainty.

Containing prices for the most frequently specified items, the majority with labour constants and detailed build-ups, they have been carefully updated via comprehensive supplier engagement combined with AECOM’s market intelligence and a short-term inflationary forecast to ensure you have the most accurate cost data available. Activity descriptions and build ups have also been updated to reflect changes to standard specifications, Building Regulation changes, emerging practices, and changing outputs.
