Laxton's Price Books

What is the Laxton's Book?
Laxton's is produced in both methods of measurement used within the industry, for the convenience of its users.

• SMM – Standard Method of Measurement of Building Works (SMM7)
• NRM – New Rules of Measurement (NRM2)

The information detailed will be of interest to Cost Estimators, Quantity Surveyors, Contractors, Sub-contractors, Self Builders, Architects, Developers, Students, Government and Public Authorities and those interested in the cost of building works.

SMM vs NRM What is the difference?
SMM and NRM are different Standard Methods of Measurement that have evolved to meet changing industry requirements. While NRM2 has been introduced by the RICS as an alternative framework, SMM7 remains in use and has not been formally replaced.
