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

In order to efficiently and effectively manage their assets, Asset owners require certainty of cost
for their capital investment and maintenance programmes through the project lifecycle to
enable 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 minimises
abortive cost/spend on non-viable investments thereby improving overall capital efficiency.
The Rail Method of Measurement (RMM) has been written to provide a progressive integrated
measurement and valuation process in context with project development and delivery
processes 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 and
maintenance works to a railway asset such that there is understanding between all involved
parties as to where cost items are covered, how they should be measured, what they include,
and if relevant what cost items are not included.

Mature construction sectors have well established cost planning and modelling frameworks that
allow 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 are
usually developed and published by the professional institutions and well honed examples
include the New Rules of Measurement suite (NRM 1-3) published by the Royal Institution of
Chartered 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 post

contract managers and Quantity Surveyors are well versed in the application and benefits that
these frameworks bring.
The establishment of such a framework for the rail industry is fundamental to our ability to
illustrate what rail infrastructure schemes should, will and did cost and perhaps as
importantly, why. Illustrating what rail investment schemes should cost is a perennial challenge
and in order to provide a coherent answer, a common language is needed to instil crossindustry consistency and support improved domestic and international analysis and
benchmarking.
Such a language must be based on a standard hierarchy of definitions and nomenclature for
the description, measurement, pricing and modelling of rail infrastructure works. That language,
developed in collaboration with an Industry Development Group is a suite of documents
collectively referred to as the Rail Method of Measurement (RMM).
It comprises three volumes:
Volume 1: Cost Planning - Standard Cost Planning for Rail Infrastructure Works
Volume 2: Detailed Measurement - Standard Descriptions of Works Activities
Volume 3: Operational Maintenance - Standard Descriptions of Operational Maintenance
Activities
Volumes 1 and 2 have been released as part of a broadened industry consultation. Volume 3
will follow.
Volume 2 provides guidance on the quantification and description of rail infrastructure works for
the 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 to
address non physical items such as preliminaries, overheads and profit, design costs and risks
is also given. Adoption by practitioners will provide a uniform basis for measuring and
describing 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 and
2 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 to
RailMethodofMeasurement@NetworkRail.co.uk Requests to formally contribute to the Industry
Development Groups ongoing activities are also welcome.
The successful introduction of the Rail Method of Measurement and associated unit cost
modelling is an important element in driving industry change and leaving a lasting legacy in the
rail sector. In time it will support the industrys ability to better demonstrate value for money, the
capital cost dynamics of rail infrastructure schemes, enable whole life costing and facilitate
improved transparency and consistency. This will only happen with the overt support from
industry 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 I
would like to thank members of the IDG and other stakeholders for their active collaboration in
bringing a fit for purpose product to industry.

The Rail Method of Measurement provides a consistent basis for description, measurement and
allocation of cost for railway works, and embodies the knowledge of current industry best
practice.
It enshrines the common language within which the works required and the costs planned and
eventually incurred for the complete development and delivery of capital and operational
investment projects can be described and understood. It covers all aspects of client and
contractor involvement within the project lifecycle.
Volume 1 provides the framework to create a cost plan for the required outcome using a top
down 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 required
to complete the outcome.
In addition, Volume 1 provides the standard hierarchy and framework through which all costs at
any 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, and
detailed pricing schedules in a manner consistent with other construction sectors.
Volume 3 provides the required level of detail to produce estimates and pricing schedules for
works required to keep the railway operational between capital investment stages, through
classification of major groupings of maintenance activities, including inspections, servicing and
maintenance works items

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

Structure of the RMM Suite of Documents
RMM Volume 1 (Cost Planning) provides a standardised list of Cost Categories and Group
Elements within a hierarchical cost breakdown grouped principally by railway asset groups,

then element assets or systems, sub-elements and components (e.g. Permanent Way; Plain
line; Running rails; Modular track)
RMM Volume 2 (Detailed Measurement) provides a standardised list of railway specific work
classifications (e.g. Rail Track, Railway Control Systems, Electric Power Installations)
incorporating railway asset specific sections for M&E type works, using the principle of one
item, one place, such that each item appears only once but can be used and allocated once or
multiple 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-uses
the railway asset groups to classify the work items more in line with the order of work activity
taking 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 compliment
each other. RMM 1 provides the Cost Categories, Group Elements and Element structure
which shall apply for all Cost Planning, Detailed Estimates and the Valuations of all Project
Costs through the Project Lifecycle. RMM 1 is used for Cost Planning purposes however when
more design information is available the RMM 2 can be introduced to provide a more granular
level of Measurement yet still correlating back to RMM 1 and the Cost Categories, Group
Element 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 and
valuation; each section includes rules relating to measurement, definition, coverage and
additional information or additional description required to be given.

July 2014
RMM 1 divides the costs of works generally encountered within the Railway Corridor into six
cost categories:
1. Direct Construction Works
2. Indirect Construction Works
3. Employers Indirect Costs
4. Risk
5. Inflation

6. Taxation
Each Cost Category comprises one or more Group Elements, which provide a breakdown of
cost in increasing detail: Elements, Sub-elements, and Components. It is intended that as the
level of maturity of the project increases, so a greater level of breakdown of cost items can be
measured.
1.06
Alignment with CESMM 4
RMM 2 provides supplemental information to the Civil Engineering Standard Method of

Measurement, 4th Edition (CESMM4) rules and principles to amplify and encompass specific
works to railway infrastructure and systems. This document should be read in conjunction with
CESMM4 to enable a full and complete breakdown of work items to be provided for railway
infrastructure projects.
1.07
Form of Contract
RMM is contract agnostic - it makes no reference to any particular form of contract as it is

intended 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 contract
being used for the project, where those requirements affect the method of construction or the
cost of the works.

July 2014
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 common
format. 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 and
Element Cost Summaries as shown in Appendix A and B.

If it is necessary for the Detailed Estimate / Pricing Schedule / Bills of Quantities to be

structured by a Work Breakdown Structure or other means of organisation, this structure should
either form the high level headings or be attached to each item, so as to preserve the alignment
of the current estimate/schedule/BoQ with that structure.

Anticipated Final Cost (AFC) means the estimated final cost of a project at completion,
i.e. a forecast of the total expenditure for development and delivery of the entire project at
close-out. This may or may not be equal to the Cost Limit. see Cost Limit.
Bill(s) of Quantities means a list of items giving brief identifying descriptions and quantities
of the work.
Component means a measured item which forms part of an element or sub-element. The

about the construction and completion of the works but do not include materials or other things
intended to form or forming part of the permanent works.
Contractors overheads and profit means the contractors costs associated with head
office administration proportioned to each works contract plus the contractors return on capital
investment. Contractors overheads and profit exclude costs associated with sub-contractors
overheads and profit, which are to be included with the rates for the sub-contractors work.
Contractors preliminaries Contractors preliminaries include the costs associated with

such items as management and staff, site establishment and maintenance, site supervision,
requirements under the contract, temporary works and temporary services. Contractors
preliminaries exclude costs associated with sub-contractors preliminaries, which are to be
included with the rates for sub-contractors work.
Contractors risk means the allowance added to the tender calculation for the commercial
risk associated with competitive tendering.
Construction Cost means the total cost of the Direct and Indirect Construction Works cost
(i.e. the total cost for the works including the Contractors preliminaries, overheads and profit).

a project, distinguishing between cost of physical works and other cost areas.
Cost control means the process of planning and controlling the costs of the programme
and projects throughout the complete programme or project.
Cost estimate means a report determining the possible cost of a project early in the design

Cost target means the recommended total expenditure for a group element, element or
sub-element. The total cost for an element is likely to be derived from a number of subelements and components; a cost target may be set for a sub-element as the design
development progress, the aggregate of cost targets for each of the sub-elements within an
element form the target cost of the element and the aggregate of the cost targets for each
element form the cost target for the group element and so on.
Design and build contract means a contract by which the design and construction of the
works are the responsibility of the contractor.
Design team means project managers, engineers, cost managers and specialist
consultants responsible for the conceptual design and its development into drawings,
specifications, instruction and schedules required for the construction of the works. The design
team is part of the project team.
Direct Construction Works Cost means the labour, plant, material, and subcontract costs
for the provision and installation of the permanent works. Direct Construction Works Costs
exclude Contractor Preliminaries, Contractor Overhead & Profit and Design.
Element means the principal division of a group element. Elements provide the standard
level of cost planning or analysis. A separate cost target can be established for each element
from the sum of the underlying sub-elements.
Element Unit Quantity (EUQ) means the unit of measurement that relates solely to the
quantity of the element or sub-element (e.g. the length of track, the number of switches or
crossings and the length of drainage).
Element Unit Rate (EUR) means the rate derived from the total cost of the element
divided by the element unit quantity (EUQ). For example, the EUR for permanent way is the
total cost of track, turnouts and crossings, ancillaries, track drainage, treatment of existing track
abandonment and recovery of old materials, survey and recovery of old materials, testing and
commissioning, contractors design and contractors overheads and profit, divided by the EUQ
for permanent way. EURs include the cost of all labour, materials and plant, sub-contractors
design fees, sub-contractor preliminaries and sub-contractors overheads and profit. EURs
exclude contractors preliminaries, contractors overheads and profit and other costs such as
project team fees, other development/project costs, risk allowances and inflation. These items
are assessed separately.
Elemental cost analysis (or cost analysis) means a schedule of detailed costs of
previously constructed works and is intended to provide information to assist the accurate
estimate of cost of similar future works. Based on completed projects, it contains data on which
initial elemental estimates and elemental cost plans can be based.
Elemental cost plan (or cost plan) is the critical breakdown of the cost limit for the project
into cost categories and group elements for each element of the project. It provides a statement
of how the design and delivery team proposes to distribute the available budget among the
elements of the project and a frame of reference from which to develop the design and maintain
cost control. It also provides both a work breakdown structure (WBS) and a cost breakdown
structure (CBS) which, by codifying, can be used to redistribute work in elements to
construction packages for the purpose of procurement.
Employer means the promoter or owner of the works. The terms Project Sponsor or
Supervising Officer (SO) are used to define representatives of the Employer empowered to
manage the works project and, unless otherwise provided in the contract, issue instructions or
notices on behalf of the Employer. For the purposes of RMM, the term Employer shall be
synonymous with the terms Project Sponsor or Supervising Officer (SO).
Employers Indirect Costs means the total costs incurred by the Employer in the
development, design and delivery of the project, excluding the Construction Cost.
Enabling Works means the works required to be completed prior to the commencement of
the principal works within the railway corridor.

Engineering hours (for the London Underground network), means the period of time
between (a) the published time or actual time, if later, traction current is switched off and (b) the
published time or amended time, if earlier, traction current is switched on.
Estimate see Cost estimate.
Estimate base date means the date on which the cost limit (excluding inflation i.e. the
sum of the works cost estimate, project/design team fees estimate, other development/project
costs estimate and risk allowance estimate) is established as a basis for calculating inflation,
changes or other related variances.

Estimate of Prime Cost [EPC] means the estimate prepared to calculate the probable
target cost for a cost reimbursable contract; the EPC is used to exercise size cost control.
Expressly required means shown on the drawings, described in the specification or

ordered by the Employer pursuant to the contract(s) in use.
Four-foot means the space between two running rails of standard gauge track.
Four-foot walkway means a track asset walkway which runs along the four-foot of a track,
to give access to, or egress from, a stabled train or rail-mounted vehicle.
Free issue services, materials or plant means items that are supplied to the Contractor
through Employer facilitated contracts. These items should not incur Contractor Overhead &
Profit.
Group Element means the principal headings used to describe the cost groups in an
elemental cost plan. Group elements are the principal division of cost categories and provide
the highest level of elemental cost planning or analysis. A separate cost target can be
established for each group element from the sum of the underlying elements.
Indirect Construction Works Cost means the Contractors preliminaries, overheads,
profit, and any other costs associated with the execution of the works excluding the direct
construction works costs.
Inflation an allowance made for the rate of change of prices (as indicated by a price index)
calculated on a monthly or annual basis. Refer to definitions for tender inflation and
construction inflation as follows:
Construction inflation means an allowance included in the Cost Estimate or Cost

plan for the rate of change of prices for labour, plant and materials during the period
from date of the tender return to the completion of construction work.
Tender inflation means an allowance included in the Cost Estimate or Cost Plan
for the rate of change of prices from the estimate base date to the tender return date.
The allowance may include for inflation brought about by changes in market conditions
or for the rate of change in the prices of labour, materials and plant and equipment
during the period from the estimate base date to the date for tender return.
Isolation means:
(a)
the formal procedure for de-energizing a section of traction current supply

equipment, earthing, verifying its lack of potential and issuing certification to
that effect, or
(b)
the severance of any electrical supply to electrically operated devices, lineside

cabinets and the like.
Overheads and Profit See Contractors overheads and profit.
OGC Gateway Process means the Government process in the United Kingdom, which
examines projects at all stages of their delivery from inception to completion. The process
requires a business case to be prepared for the project, which is progressively reviewed until a
decision to invest is taken. Following the investment decision, the project is monitored to ensure
the business case is maintained and the project delivers its intended benefits to the Employer.
OGC Gateways (or OGC Gateway) are the milestone decisions taken in the process.
Other development/project costs means costs that are not necessarily directly
associated with costs of constructing the works but form part of the total cost of the project to
the Employer (e.g. land acquisition costs, funding costs, fees to local authorities for statutory
consents, decanting and relocation costs).
