Now in its second edition, it provides guidance on the quantification of building works in order to prepare order of cost estimates and cost plans as well as approximate estimates. It also includes guidance about quantifying wider costs such as preliminaries, overheads and profit, risk allowances, and inflation.	+	NRM 1 was first published in February 2009 (as NRM Order of cost estimating and elemental cost planning).

It also includes guidance about quantifying wider costs such as preliminaries, overheads and profit, risk allowances, and inflation.

	The second edition has been renamed to better distinguish between capital building works and building maintenance works, and the arrangement of elements has been revised. It became operative on 1 January 2013.

	As well as a set of rules for how to quantify building work, NRM is intended to provide a toolkit for cost management that will be central to controlling costs as a project develops. It provides guidance on how measurement changes as design progresses, how cost centres can be included in a single project cost plan, how to assess the cost of risk, how to assess fees, what information is required to make key decisions and so on.
