Basic Unit Costs (BUCs) relate to social housing build projects developed directly by local authorities or approved housing bodies on their own land, using Public Works forms of contract. While not a record of actual delivery costs, the BUCs are based on an analysis of returned data from tendered social housing schemes and act as a key benchmark for local authorities and approved housing bodies with the development and costing of scheme designs at capital appraisal stage. They are not cost ceilings.

I will arrange to share a copy of the Basic Unit Costs (BUCs) for social housing build projects with the Deputy.
