Foreword to first edition 2002

Why should you use this ECI Piping Pricing System when you already have your own
system in place?
A perfectly sensible question. However, the Piping Workgroup feels that there are a
number of good reasons for implementing this ECI Piping Pricing System, since existing
systems do not offer you all of the following:
separation of direct and indirect costs

the possibility to separate fully piping prefabrication cost from erection cost (ie to cater
for separate contracts)
measurement corresponding to basic physical operations and related to man-hour
content per operation
fair representation of effects from quantity variations and from complexity variations
(recognises piping complexity, ie weld / length ratio)
the possibility of linking Material Take-off (MTO) and isometrics Bill of Material (BoM)
data for electronic pricing
allow basic price agreement at a very early stage, eg for pre-selection of potential
partners
allow logical links with estimating data collection systems, progress measurement data
collection systems and historical data collection systems
provide for transparent change administration
The ECI Piping Pricing System offers all of the above features. This document explains
how it works.
The system includes a spreadsheet with multipliers on a CD-ROM. It is not a ready-made

software package, but it is simple enough to integrate the system into any company’s
existing software.
This Piping Pricing System has been jointly developed by a group of professional and
committed engineering and construction contractors. Such a broad basis is a guarantee of
wide acceptance by others in the business.
The ECI are grateful to the Subcontracts Task Force and the Piping Pricing System
Workgroup for their efforts in developing this ECI Piping Pricing System.
This document is dedicated to the memory of Michel Buidin and François Dalla Vecchia.
They will be remembered for their expert contribution and good fellowship.

Summary of revision 2005

Since the initial publication in 2002, a number of owners, EPC contractors and construction
contractors in our industry have applied the ECI Pricing System for Piping Works
successfully on different types of project at various locations. Their contribution in providing
comments and suggested improvements is highly appreciated and enabled the ECI Benelux
Subcontracting Task Force to prepare this ‘Revision 2005’ of the system.
In addition, a number of modifications were required to better support further automation of

the execution work processes that interface with the system.
Summarised in essentials, the following modifications represent the majority of ‘Revision

2005’:
No more differentiation between ‘large bore’ and ‘small bore’ with their separate
reference diameters and Base Unit Rates but a unique reference to a 6 inch diameter
and a unique Base Unit Rate per operation. This approach corresponds to the
evolution of design activities resulting in 3D modelled isometrics including small bore
piping and enabling prefabrication of pipe spools with diameters not only larger than 2
in. As a consequence, the diameter multiplier tables now cover the range from 1/2 in
to 48 in for both prefabrication and erection activities.
Further differentiation of the various pipe wall thicknesses. Rather than through pipe
schedule groups, now formulae give a more accurate wall thickness multiplier.
This also allows the use of the system for all piping specifications.
Multipliers for different large flange ratings are now available for all piping
specifications.
Local post weld heat treatments are now separated from furnace post weld heat
treatment.
Cold pipe bending is now separated from hot pipe bending.
Addition of pricing table for positive material identification (PMI).
Addition of pricing table for screwed joints in prefabrication.
Multiplier for ‘tapering’ in now calculated from the thickness reduction in mm, which is
more appropriate and consistent than the former system based on pipe schedules.
The operation ‘weld’ for modification does not automatically include ‘cuts’ and ‘bevels’.
The two separate operations ‘flanged joint’ and ‘hydraulic bolt tensioning’ are now
combined in one operation, ‘flanged joint including hydraulic bolt tensioning’.
The CD now includes the full and complete calculations with the appropriate
multipliers.

1. Introduction
1.1 General
Developments in the petrochemical and chemical business over recent years have
increased the demand for innovation, efficiency and flexibility from owners, engineering
contractors and subcontractors (or construction contractors) alike.
The Benelux Regional Unit of ECI formed a Subcontracting Task Force investigating
options to improve subcontract processes.
The members of this Task Force consist of people with practical day-to-day experience with
(sub) contract and construction matters. Combining the knowledge, expertise and
experience available within the members of the Unit has provided the platform for
development of improvements for the benefit of all.
One of the Task Force’s objectives is to develop a new standardised / uniform pricing
system for Piping Subcontracts, which will be widely accepted in the construction industry.
The numerous, very different types of system in use to date are creating significant
problems for contractors in properly assessing and pricing work. This often leads to an
unrealistic level of contingencies in proposals. Misunderstandings, unclear items and / or
quantity variations cause disputes and claim situations after award. The new system aims
to eliminate to a large extent the drawbacks experienced in current systems.
For ease of reference, we will use the term ‘employer’ for engineering contractor (or owner
as the case may be) and ‘contractor’ for subcontractor or construction contractor.
PAGE 7 OF 131
Subcontracting Task Force
Taskforce objectives …
“Improve the subcontracting process on
industrial projects”
reduce bidding time
better identify and manage risk
avoid claims by fair cost assessments of
- scope of work
- variations
The primary goals for the new system are:
a) establish a less complex, market friendly system, representing actual costs

per operation
the cost of a single physical operation can be better defined than the combined cost of
a number of diverse operations.
b) take risk away from those parties that can’t control such risks
reduce the number of assumptions a contractor has to make in his bid by separating
prices for prefabrication and erection work, recognition of complexity, and providing a
transparent system which will absorb quantity variations without requiring
re-negotiations.
c) establish a method for electronic pricing of piping work
d) ensure transparency in measurement of progress and productivity
PAGE 8 OF 131
1.2 Phases of development
A specification or ‘shopping list’ was established, listing requirements that the ECI
pricing system would have to meet. The following parameters were considered as
being vital:
recognise piping complexity (weld-length ratio)

related to man-hour content per operation and in total
separate prefabrication from erection activities
have a direct connection with engineering MTO data
allow basic price agreement in very early stage (eg for selection of alliance partner)
separate direct costs from indirects and differentiate between secondary operations
(NDE, painting, etc)
allow a logical link with progress measurement systems and planning / work
preparation
support estimating systems and provide logical collection of historical data
allow practicable administration
allow transparent change administration
suitable for electronic data transfer
suitable for global application
Various systems in use to-date were presented, commented on and evaluated.

These systems were analysed in detail and tested against the above criteria.
It was observed that one recently developed system, the Raytheon ‘New Pay Item System’
came nearest to meeting most requirements and was suitable for further development into
the envisaged ECI Piping Pricing System.

PAGE 10 OF 131
1.3 The ECI Piping Pricing System
The system is based on measurement corresponding to physical operations and defined

interrelations between variables within an operation. Indirect costs are separated from
direct costs.
Operations (units of work) recognised are:

handling
jointing
bending
transportation
hydrotesting, non destructive examination (NDE), post-weld heat treatment (PWHT)
tapering, cutting, bevelling
painting
supporting
In this system each activity or operation performed will be measured. It recognises

separate measurement for prefabrication and erection. Interrelations between variables
(size, rating, wall thickness, etc.) have been defined in tables. These interrelations are
reflected in multiplier factors. For instance, a reference pipe has been defined: 6 inches
(in), STD wall thickness, carbon steel. The contractor will quote a Base Unit Rate for
this ‘reference’ item and all other items are scaled from this Base Unit Rate by applying the
relevant defined multipliers separately for each operation.
PAGE 11 OF 131
1.4 Example
The Unit Rate to perform a field butt-weld on stainless steel, diameter 4 in, wall thickness
3.05 mm (SCH. 10S), shall be calculated as follows (see table 2.2100):
Base Unit Rate Multiplier Multiplier Multiplier Multiplier: Calculated

Weld/each Material Type Pipe size Wall-thickness Weld type Unit Rate
(Assumption) SS 4 in 3.05 mm
(SCH.10S)
100.00 x 1.60 x 0.75 x 0.85 x 1.00 = 102.00
The apparent relation between the labour content and the cost of an operation enables
expedient verification of estimated man-hour content as well as close monitoring of
progress.
1.5 Application
The system as presented is intended for use on unit rate type piping contracts. In its
preparation, the following activities have not been considered for inclusion:
detailed engineering
supply of piping materials
activities such as coating and wrapping, tie-in work, jacketed pipe work and chemical
cleaning
work of other disciplines eg mechanical, scaffolding, steelwork, instrumentation and
insulation
1.6 Sources used

For determination of interrelations and multiplier factors, a number of sources of information
were consulted and figures compared and evaluated to establish a commonly agreed basis:

2. Description of the system

2.1 General
2.1.1 Basis of the ECI Piping Pricing System

The heart of the New Pricing System is formed by the Multiplier Tables: one table for
prefabrication activities and one for erection.
All relevant factors influencing operations in a (unit rate based) piping contract are shown in
table format. For each operation, fixed multiplier factors are given, representing their
relation to the ‘reference operation’.
Only Base Unit Rates for the ‘reference operations’ are required; other unit rates are
automatically scaled off by applying the relevant multipliers.
The multiplier factors have been established and verified as a true representation of the
related complexity and shall not be altered. One of the main virtues of the system is that it
may save considerable time in preparation of a bid due to the standardised and accepted
nature. Modifications to, or discussions about, multipliers would jeopardise this.
It must be noted that some piping related activities do not appear in the multiplier tables,
because they are specific and no multiplier factors apply (eg positive material identification).
For each of these, relevant pricing tables can be prepared and applied.
Contractors shall take the characteristic nature of the work of the project into account on the
basis of all relevant information provided in the bid package.
2.1.2 Units of work

In this system, the work scope is broken down into operations for which (unit) prices are
agreed. These activities, which are all (re-)measurable operations, are referred to as units
of work.
These units of work may also include items that will not be measured or separately paid for.
Such items are referred to as ‘non-measured items’.
The prices for the units of work are deemed to include the associated non-measured items.
2.1.3 Units of work numbering system

Each user may assign their own coding system for numbering the different units of work,
suitable for intelligent coupling to the material take-off system employed, for estimating and
progress control purposes.
PAGE 13 OF 131
2.1.4 Measurement
During the bid phase, the employer will provide a Form of Tender which includes the
various applicable pricing tables. Units of work quantities in these pricing tables are usually
provided from estimated material take-offs. During the execution phase, actual units of
work quantities are best calculated and measured on the basis of released for construction
drawings. The method of measurement (referred to as measurement) indicates how the
unit of work quantities may be measured.
For progress measurement, a contractor shall usually submit its determination of units of
work performed in accordance with the provisions of the contract.
2.1.5 Description of work breakdown structure

The following breakdown structure has been used for reference:
2.1.5.1 Prefabrication
a) Transportation of piping materials - agree suitable means of compensation.
(see sample set-up)
b) Shop prefabrication and painting activities, as included in units of work:

handling
joints
bending
testing and heat treatment
supports
painting
modification work
c) Labour and equipment rates
2.1.5.2 Erection
‘Indirect costs’ shall be clearly separated from ‘direct costs’.
‘Indirect costs’ cover those items of expense which do not vary proportionally with the
quantities of work.
‘Direct costs’ cover those items of expense which vary with the quantities of work.
PAGE 14 OF 131
a) Indirect costs - compensation for the following items of expense shall be excluded
from the Unit Rates and shall be priced separately as ‘indirect costs’.
Site and / or camp facilities: mobilisation, demobilisation, operation and
maintenance costs including man-hours spent in relation to these items and
all running costs such as electricity, phone, fax, stationary, computers etc.
Site staff, management and supervision: management, supervision above
level of working foreman, administration, drawing and design, planning,
preparation and follow-up of work including Quality Assurance / Quality
Control (QA / QC), Safety, etc. and relative costs for mobilisation /
demobilisation according to a list of functions and expected agreed
assignment periods.
Major construction equipment: limited to cranes, rigging equipment, on-site
transportation equipment for personnel and material, power generators, air
compressors including their operators if applicable and all relative costs for
mobilisation / demobilisation, consumables, maintenance, etc, according to a
list of items and agreed expected assignment periods.
General services: cost of personnel assigned to tools and equipment
warehousing and maintenance except for those relative to the above major
construction equipment.
Overheads and profits: limited to the part in relation to items of expense that
form part of the ‘indirect costs’.
Prices and / or rates covering ‘indirect costs’ remain only valid insofar as ‘quantities’,
‘schedule’ and the like do not change beyond a mutually agreed percentage or period.
b) ‘Direct costs’ to cover piping erection and painting activities - items of expense
which are not covered in the ‘indirect costs’ shall be covered by the unit rates to
be established for:
handling
joints
bending
testing and heat treatment
supports
painting
modification work
c) Labour and equipment rates
2.1.6 Guidelines / recommendations

Detailed scope description: split of work between employer and contractor may
vary from project to project - this should have no effect on application of the
system.
Project-specific extensions to the system are possible: eg for piping material
types not covered, a multiplier may be added as the need arises - however, any
extensions shall be clearly identified as such.
Wall thickness multipliers are calculated by means of a formula which covers all
wall thicknesses up to 50 mm.
PAGE 15 OF 131
2.1.7 Exceptions
multiplier tables do not cover wall thicknesses > 50 mm
multiplier tables do not cover pipe > 48” (DN1200)
multiplier tables do not cover flange ratings > 2500lbs
multiplier tables do not cover hot bending of pipe
multiplier tables do not cover the cold bending of pipe over and above 6 inches
although steam tracing is not covered by the system, supply and return lines can be
regarded as piping
demolition and tie-in work are not covered in this system
furnace PWHT
It is recommended that handling of these excepted items is agreed as required.
2.1.8 Configuration of the system

Besides a spreadsheet which calculates the interrelations between the multiplier table and
the relevant pricing table, this handbook does not provide a ready-made software package
to load and implement into the system of any organisation. There are simply too many
different hardware and software options in use on the market to restrict this system to any
particular configuration. It is however simple enough for each user to start from what is
available and standardise within his or her own organisation and develop the software
requirements for the system to suit his particular situation. The system can be set up to run
on any commercially available database, spreadsheet or similar type of application.
A parts-library will have to be set up to link MTO (materials take off) data, generated by
computer plant design tools such as PDS, PDMS or similar, with the pricing tables and
related multipliers therein. As soon as isometrics are produced, the isometric material lists
can be linked to the relevant pricing data to generate cost per isometric.
2.2 Pricing structure diagrams
The pricing structures for the piping work is split into prefabrication and erection, thus
providing the possibility to have two separate contracts.

5. Examples
The purpose of this section is to give examples of piping pricing calculation according to the
ECI Pricing System.
Three examples are given:
Example 1 refers to prefabrication of piping

Example 2 refers to erection of piping
Example 3 refers to erection of piping
To support these three examples, two isometrics have been drawn:
Isometric nr 1007 rev 2 to support calculation examples nr 1 and 2

Isometric nr 1003 rev 3 to support calculation example nr 3
The Base Unit Rates used in these three examples are delivered from an example of what a
‘contractual summary of Base Unit Rates’ could be:

Prices given in these tables are not a reflection of a pricing level in any particular currency.
They are just figures given for a better understanding of the ECI Pricing System.
