The aim is to improve unit cost estimates over time, drawing on material as it becomes available, including ongoing and specially commissioned research.<\/p>\n<p>The costs reported always reflect, to a greater or lesser degree, work in progress, as the intention is<br \/>\nto refine and improve estimates wherever possible, drawing on a wide variety of sources. The aim is to provide as detailed and comprehensive information as possible, quoting sources and assumptions so users can adapt the information for their own purposes. Brief articles are included to provide background to user services, descriptions of cost methodology or use of cost estimates.<\/p>\n<p>The editorial identifies the new developments in estimates included and key current issues in the estimation of costs and use of the information provided in this report.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, this report relies on a large number of individuals who have provided direct input in the form<br \/>\nof data, permission to use material and background information and advice.
