The aim is to provide as detailed and comprehensive information as possible<br \/>\nand to improve unit cost estimates over time, drawing on material as it becomes available, including ongoing and specially commissioned research and quoting sources and assumptions so users can adapt the information for their own purposes.<\/p>\n<p>In putting the report together, there are a large number of individuals who have provided direct input in the form of data, permission to use material and background information and advice.<\/p>\n<p>Grateful thanks are extended especially to Ann Netten who has been an invaluable source of support in the<br \/>\npreparation of this report. I would also like to extend special thanks to Glen Harrison and Nick Brawn for taking expert charge of the design and typesetting.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks are also due to Jacques Ashley, James Barlow, Barbara Barrett, Rosalyn Bass, Jennifer Beecham, Gill Bellord, Sarah Byford, Adriana Castelli, Keith Derbyshire, Matthew Fiander, Nick Grangel and Becky Henderson.
