The New Rules of Measurement (NRM) are published by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). They provide a standard set of measurement rules for estimating, cost planning, procurement and whole-life costing for construction projects.

NRM3: Order of cost estimating and cost planning for building maintenance works, defines ‘time value of money’ as:

{|
| …the measurement of the difference between future monies and the present day value of monies.
|}

It suggests that:
