As a client organisation responsible for a large and varied Estate, we would not be able to fulfil our obligations without using Measured Term Contracts and the National Schedules of Rates. By working closely with our contractors, we are able to offer our internal customers a quick, efficient service and the use of the National Schedules provides a certainty of cost that fulfils all of the requirements of Standing Orders.

The NSR offers all companies, organisations and professionals an industry standard that is now recognised and adopted by the majority of general and specialist contractors who work on MTM Contracts. Rates are updated each year and the format and structure of the schedule is constantly improved. The guidance notes and preliminaries clearly set out the rules for measurement.

NSR Management provides excellent support to all users and arranges seminars for those that want to learn more or offer input to future updates.

The schedule is available in electronic format, which meets the demands of IT based offices and there is a choice of software that will provide a measuring, database and reporting facility.

The NSR has successfully been used in our maintenance cost management business from inception.

The National Schedules are used widely throughout our operations with a variety of Clients and would be our first choice when recommending schedules for term and partnering contracts. It has also proven popular with our sub-contractors who find it clear and easy to use resulting in us receiving better prices from them.

As a software house we have found the National Schedules a very popular choice on Measured Term Contracts. We have many clients making extensive use of them and finding them both accurate and comprehensive. The Schedules availability in computer form from NSR ensures that the new Schedules released in August are implemented with the minimum of effort.

I am at present working with West Lothian Council as a Surveying Consultant. One of my tasks is the demonstrate Best Value on Housing Repairs and Maintenance. I have produced a report benchmarking the most commonly used repair items by our Building Services Local Repair Teams on small repairs ( approx 130 items ) to the National Housing Maintenance Schedule version 2. This proved a very worthwhile exercise.
