Scope

Defines the system of estimate documentation and economic norms used for price determination in construction projects across Uzbekistan. The scope covers the organization of regulatory estimate documents, the role of economic standards in forming unit rates and benchmark prices, and the interactions with resource estimate collections and methodological rules used by estimators and contracting authorities.

Key topics and requirements

• Structure and classification of estimate documentation for construction pricing.
• Economic norms and principles for formation of unit rates and benchmark prices.
• Requirements for preparing and applying resource and price collections in estimates.
• Interfaces between cost-estimating documents and procurement/contract procedures.
• Rules for updating and replacing earlier editions (procedure for supersession by later SHNK editions).

Typical use and users

Used by quantity surveyors, cost estimators, design organizations, construction contractors, procurement and tendering authorities, and government departments responsible for budgeting and price regulation in the construction sector. It is a reference for preparing baseline cost estimates, setting starting prices for tenders, and harmonizing prices across projects.
