MES Standard Schedule of Rates Part II covering the items of building works and services was last published in the year 2010. The Schedule of Rates provides a basic framework to evaluate cost estimates of the projects. Over the period of last few years, appreciable changes in wages of labour, adoption of new construction technologies and use of new materials as well as implementation of GST have necessitated revision of the existing Schedule of Rates. Efforts have also been made to incorporate new items used in construction works. Accordingly, Standard Schedule of Rates Part-II has been revised and this shall replace Standard Schedule of Rates 2010 (Part-II).
