The BER Building Cost Index (BCI) is a measure of the percentage change in average building costs in South Africa. It is based on an analysis of the tariffs (rates) in accepted tenders supplied by quantity surveyors (QS).
Such estimates of future cost escalation can contribute a great deal to the reduction of uncertainties surrounding the evaluation of building contracts extending over periods of more than one year.
The BER Building Cost Index is widely accepted by the quantity surveying profession. However, not only members of the quantity surveying profession find the building cost data useful, but also building contractors, lawyers and arbitrators, property valuers, insurance brokers and insurance companies and, of late, asset management companies.
