The National Schedule of Rates are in use throughout the whole of the UK, helping hundreds of organisation in both the public and private sector manage and maintain their diverse property needs.

The National Schedule of Rates allow customers to issue a series of works orders, showing the breakdown of materials, plant and labour, confident that the charges are based on pre-determined and agreed basis of measurement and pricing.

They have also become an invaluable tool for benchmarking and ensuring that planned maintenance agreements are operated as cost effectively as possible.

Each Schedule is issued with guidance notes, preliminaries and preamble clauses and is directly related to the Joint Contracts Tribunal’s Standard Form of Measured Tender Contract 2007.

NSR Management Ltd publishes a whole range of National Schedule of Rates in book, data and web format. The Schedules are Building works, Mechanical Services, Electrical Services, Housing Maintenance, Access Audit, Roadworks and Painting and Decorating.
