The foreword frames the purpose as improving understanding of manufacturing implications during initial project phases, supporting consulting engineers and engineering students, and also benefiting quantity surveyors, architects, estimators and fabricators.

The general contents of the document are intended to be both informative and of誓practical application.Where possible the document has attempted to address cost informationbut it was felt necessary to express information in quantitative as well as qualitative terms.The costinformation presented should always be viewed as relative rather than absolute information,i.e.itshould allow comparative judgements to be made but should not be seen as an absolute cost estimateas the true market cost will depend on many factors which cannot possibly be accounted for in apresentation of this nature.  \nUnderlying the whole document is the belief that the greatest improvements to increase productivityand reduce costs will be generated by the provision of clear and appropriately detailed information,Eparticularly at time of tender.  The better the information at time of tender,the lower the riskprovisions allowed by the fabricator and the lower the likelihood of subsequent claims for additionalwork or programme variations.
