5. Overall Methodology 1 Basic Heading (BH) breakdown into 3 sub-headings: Materials, Labor, Equipment 2 Calculate unweighted PPPs for the 3 sub-headings by group of countries 3 Aggregate the PPPs for the 3 subheadings using the Resource Mixes to obtain weighted PPPs for the 3 BHs 4 Adjust the 3 BH PPPs for mark ups, professional fees and end-user taxes 5 Combine the adjusted BH PPPs using expenditures on the BHs as weights to obtain overall PPPs for construction

8. 2. Notes – Item Descriptions Materials and services Locally available General notes Identify and collect their prices Identical or equivalent to prescribed items Commonly used 1 Item descriptions and units If products specs. Not identical but equivalent Columns 10 Proprietary products Report in Not metric dimensions For materials & equipment Report in Column 5 If alternative units of measure. For labour Report in Column 4 Other notes (materials, equipment, labour) Columns 10, 8 or 7 Report in Report Situation Number of hours For equipment hire, if per day or week In Column 5 In Column 8 If unit not per hour In Column 4 Column 5 For labor, if different unit

9. 2. Notes - Prices Types of prices Materials Equipment hire Labour Actual purchasers’ prices Rental charges Actual employment cost Prices can be influenced Geographical location Local resource and distribution costs, geographic, seismic or climatic conditions, local market conditions, etc. Site context Respondents should assume reasonable site contexts with good access. Size of projects The larger the projects, the larger the quantities, and hence lower unit costs.
