At a glance
The five frameworks most often set against each other on UK projects, across the six dimensions that actually decide whether two numbers can be compared. Turn on divergence marking to see where a framework breaks from the pack.
Scope comparison
All fourteen frameworks, with the four dimensions from the at-a-glance view carried across. Role, target, module scope and element scope sit alongside the RICS edition, indicators, typologies and study period.
| Framework | Status | RICS edition | Indicators | Typologies | Study period | Main target or requirement | Module scope | Element scope and exclusions |
|---|
Module coverage
Whether each module is limited, reported, treated separately, partially covered, outside the target, or serving as a method input.
| Framework | A1–A5 upfront | B1–B5 in-use embodied | B6 energy | B7 water | C1–C4 end of life | D beyond boundary | B8 user | FF&E | External works |
|---|
Framework cards
One card per framework, for briefing notes and workshops.
Scope traps
The mismatches that most often produce a wrong benchmark, a double count or an unfair comparison.
