PREFACE

The Rail Method of Measurement has been written to provide a basis for the elemental costanalysis, measurement and valuation of all costs of a project, whether they are incurred by theinfrastructure owner or the contractor thus providing, if so desired, Total Cost Management ofProjects.

In order to efficiently and effectively manage their assets, Asset owners require certainty of costfor their capital investment and maintenance programmes through the project lifecycle toenable sound decisions to be made on where, when and how to invest.

Increased accuracy at the early stages of the project lifecycle achieves this, but also minimisesabortive cost/spend on non-viable investments thereby improving overall capital efficiency.

The Rail Method of Measurement (RMM) has been written to provide a progressive integratedmeasurement and valuation process in context with project development and deliveryprocesses used by railway infrastructure owners, network operators and suppliers in the UK.

The RMM provides a structure for the consistent preparation of budgets for capital andmaintenance works to a railway asset such that there is understanding between all involvedparties as to where cost items are covered, how they should be measured, what they include,and if relevant what cost items are not included.

Foreword to Rail Method of Measurement – Volume 2 –Detailed Measurement

Mature construction sectors have well established cost planning and modelling frameworks thatallow funders, clients and stakeholders to make clear assessments of the value for money and

cost drivers associated with their schemes. These frameworks of rules and definitions areusually developed and published by the professional institutions and well honed examplesinclude the New Rules of Measurement suite (NRM 1-3) published by the Royal Institution ofChartered Surveyors and the Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement (CESMM4),published by Institution of Civil Engineers.

Commercial practitioners from estimators and procurement professionals through to postcontract managers and Quantity Surveyors are well versed in the application and benefits thatthese frameworks bring.

The establishment of such a framework for the rail industry is fundamental to our ability toillustrate what rail infrastructure schemes ‘should’, ‘will’ and ‘did’ cost and perhaps asimportantly, ‘why’. Illustrating what rail investment schemes should cost is a perennial challengeand in order to provide a coherent answer, a common language is needed to instil cross-

industry consistency and support improved domestic and international analysis andbenchmarking.

Such a language must be based on a standard hierarchy of definitions and nomenclature forthe description, measurement, pricing and modelling of rail infrastructure works. That language,developed in collaboration with an Industry Development Group is a suite of documentscollectively referred to as the Rail Method of Measurement (RMM).

It comprises three volumes:

Volume 1: Cost Planning - Standard Cost Planning for Rail Infrastructure WorksVolume 2: Detailed Measurement - Standard Descriptions of Works ActivitiesVolume 3: Operational Maintenance - Standard Descriptions of Operational Maintenance Activities

Volumes 1 and 2 have been released as part of a broadened industry consultation. Volume 3will follow.

Volume 2 provides guidance on the quantification and description of rail infrastructure works forthe purpose of quantification in support of schedules of works, estimates, pricing documents,final accounts and the constituent elements of cost models. Direction and definition on how toaddress ‘non physical’ items such as preliminaries, overheads and profit, design costs and risksis also given. Adoption by practitioners will provide a uniform basis for measuring anddescribing rail infrastructure works and embodies the essentials of best practice.

The work of the Industry Development Group will continue with the refinement of volumes 1 and2 in light of industry feedback, and the validation and first release of volume 3. Comments,proposed revisions and amendments to the documents are welcome and should be sent [email protected] Requests to formally contribute to the IndustryDevelopment Group’s ongoing activities are also welcome.

The successful introduction of the Rail Method of Measurement and associated unit costmodelling is an important element in driving industry change and leaving a lasting legacy in therail sector. In time it will support the industry’s ability to better demonstrate value for money, thecapital cost dynamics of rail infrastructure schemes, enable whole life costing and facilitateimproved transparency and consistency. This will only happen with the overt support fromindustry stakeholders and adoption by client and supply chain practitioners.

It has been a privilege to facilitate this work from concept through to industry deployment and Iwould like to thank members of the IDG and other stakeholders for their active collaboration inbringing a fit for purpose product to industry.

1 Principles of Application

1.01 Introduction

The Rail Method of Measurement (RMM) Suite of Documents provides the guidance forconsistent measurement and cost analysis of works to railway infrastructure.

1.02 Purpose

The Rail Method of Measurement provides a consistent basis for description, measurement andallocation of cost for railway works, and embodies the knowledge of current industry bestpractice.

It enshrines the common language within which the works required and the costs planned andeventually incurred for the complete development and delivery of capital and operationalinvestment projects can be described and understood. It covers all aspects of client andcontractor involvement within the project lifecycle.

Volume 1 provides the framework to create a cost plan for the required outcome using a ‘topdown’ methodology. As the solution develops through its lifecycle into pre-construction stages,greater certainty of cost is provided by more specific and detailed itemisation of tasks requiredto complete the outcome.

In addition, Volume 1 provides the standard hierarchy and framework through which all costs atany development or delivery stage can be analysed and reconciled for comparison.

Volume 2 provides the required level of detail to produce ‘bottom up’ cost plans, estimates, anddetailed pricing schedules in a manner consistent with other construction sectors.

Volume 3 provides the required level of detail to produce estimates and pricing schedules forworks required to keep the railway operational between capital investment stages, throughclassification of major groupings of maintenance activities, including inspections, servicing and

maintenance works items

Asset Lifecycle – Increased Knowledge

Figure 1 : Rail Method of Measurement application across asset lifecycle

Through the use of Volumes 1, 2 and 3 of the RMM all costs incurred from the inception of aproject to the ultimate disposal of the asset can be consistently measured, priced and recordedto complete the circle of cost knowledge.

1.03 Structure of the RMM Suite of Documents

RMM Volume 1 (Cost Planning) provides a standardised list of Cost Categories and GroupElements within a hierarchical cost breakdown grouped principally by railway asset groups,

then element assets or systems, sub-elements and components (e.g. Permanent Way; Plainline; Running rails; Modular track)

RMM Volume 2 (Detailed Measurement) provides a standardised list of railway specific workclassifications (e.g. Rail Track, Railway Control Systems, Electric Power Installations)incorporating railway asset specific sections for M&E type works, using the principle of “oneitem, one place”, such that each item appears only once but can be used and allocated once ormultiple times within the estimate or pricing schedule and against the RMM 1 structure.

RMM Volume 3 (Operational Maintenance) provides the same principle as RMM 2, but re-usesthe railway asset groups to classify the work items more in line with the order of work activitytaking place (patrol, inspection, repair, etc).

1.04 Use of the RMM Suite of Documents

The figure below gives an example of how RMM 1 and RMM 2 work together and complimenteach other. RMM 1 provides the Cost Categories, Group Elements and Element structurewhich shall apply for all Cost Planning, Detailed Estimates and the Valuations of all ProjectCosts through the Project Lifecycle. RMM 1 is used for Cost Planning purposes however whenmore design information is available the RMM 2 can be introduced to provide a more granularlevel of Measurement yet still correlating back to RMM 1 and the Cost Categories, GroupElement and Element structure.

Figure 2 – How RMM 1 and RMM 2 work together

1.05 Format and Layout

All RMM Volumes are set out in tabular form to provide the method of measurement andvaluation; each section includes rules relating to measurement, definition, coverage andadditional information or additional description required to be given.

12/106

RMM 1 divides the costs of works generally encountered within the Railway Corridor into sixcost categories:

1. Direct Construction Works

2. Indirect Construction Works

3. Employer’s Indirect Costs

4. Risk

5. Inflation

6. Taxation

Each Cost Category comprises one or more Group Elements, which provide a breakdown ofcost in increasing detail: Elements, Sub-elements, and Components. It is intended that as thelevel of maturity of the project increases, so a greater level of breakdown of cost items can bemeasured.

1.06 Alignment with CESMM 4

RMM 2 provides supplemental information to the Civil Engineering Standard Method ofMeasurement, 4th Edition (CESMM4) rules and principles to amplify and encompass specific

works to railway infrastructure and systems. This document should be read in conjunction withCESMM4 to enable a full and complete breakdown of work items to be provided for railwayinfrastructure projects.

1.07 Form of Contract

RMM is “contract agnostic” - it makes no reference to any particular form of contract as it isintended for application to any project, irrespective of the form of contract between the parties.The term “contract” is used, generically, to make reference to the requirements of the contractbeing used for the project, where those requirements affect the method of construction or thecost of the works.

1.08 Cost Analysis, Benchmark Analysis and Cost Models

The RMM can be used as the basis for capturing current and historical data in a commonformat. This allows for consistent Cost Analysis, Benchmark Analysis and Cost Modelling. Both

the Cost Analysis and Benchmark Analysis techniques will be based on the Group Element andElement Cost Summaries as shown in Appendix A and B.

An example of a Cost Model based on the RMM format is shown in Figure 3. As well as theRMM format it is important to note that Cost Models will also be determined by their ‘CostDrivers’ and ‘Technical Parameters’ with examples shown.

1.09 Details of works

Unless otherwise specifically stated in the cost plan, estimate or pricing schedule, all worksdescribed and measured in accordance with this document shall be deemed to includeprovision of goods, materials and services necessary to carry out the described items.

Items measured using the rules contained in this document shall fully describe the quantity andquality of the required works.

Where a specific area of project works requires a greater level of detail than the ‘Component’level, RMM Volume 2 – Detailed Measurement, or RMM Volume 3 – Operational Maintenanceshall be utilised to define the precise extent, nature and specification of the required works.

Items of works or groups of items shall be classified to define the type of work activity beingcarried out, in accordance with the definitions listed below:

New Build New installation on greenfield / brownfield site workswhere no similar type of asset exists.

Replace – Full Replacement / reconstruction of all life-expired structural

components with equivalent or lesser specificationcomponents.

Replace – Partial Replacement / reconstruction of targeted life-expiredstructural components with equivalent or lesserspecification components.

Refurbish Renovation or overhauls of existing asset orcomponents / elements, including e.g. redecoration,cleaning, remove graffiti / vegetation, etc. Also includesminor remodelling & upgrades.

Extend Increasing the functionality of existing elements throughextension of length, area, volume, or coverage.

Repair Restoration to good condition of defective elements orcomponents, including inspection, spot/patch repairs,etc.

Strengthen Addition to existing or replacement with higherspecification components to increase strength of assetor components, make safe or prolong life prior to repair.

Preventative Maintenance Treatments or maintenance to prevent or slow the rate

of deterioration of assets or components.

Hazard Management Planned programme of work to reduce risk; works ortreatments to remove or make safe existing hazardswithin assets or components, other than strengthening.

Abandon / Demolish / Remove Removal of an asset, the functionality or liability of anasset without replacement. Where this entails worksother than demolition (e.g. Infilling) to removefunctionality, this shall be classed as replacement.

Asset Protection Infrastructure owner supervision only of works to assetswhich impinge on railway land but are owned andconstructed by outside parties.
