EFA looks at revising cost benchmarks because of rising prices

摘要

The man in charge of the government's flagship school building programme has said his organisation will consider revising the construction cost it is willing to pay for the next phase of the programme to take account of sharply rising prices. Speaking at the Government Construction Summit this week, Mike Green, director of capital at the Education Funding Agency (EFA), said he was aware of the impact of the economic recovery upon construction costs, and would take account of cost pressures in the next £2bn phase of the Priority School Building Programme, running from next year.
