The Civil Engineering Contractors Association represents over 300 contractors of all sizes, covering approximately 80% of the civil engineering market in Great Britain. Our members build infrastructure that provides the basis for economic sustainability and quality of life in communities across the country. 2. The CECA Dayworks Schedules are used in contract works for civil engineering and occasionally other types of work to determine the cost of carrying out work on a labour, plant and materials basis when there is no other method of calculating the cost of work in the conditions of contract under which the work is being carried out. The CECA Schedules of Dayworks Carried Out Incidental to Contract Work are those referred to in the Infrastructure Conditions of Contract. Often they are incorporated in other forms of contract where there is no other schedule of costs available. The document itself consists of four Schedules: Labour, Plant, Materials and Supplementary Charges.
