DACE consists of a large group of volunteers - owners/operating companies, EPC engineering companies and construction contractors within the process industry - who are providing cost input. DACE has only a facilitating role, and is performing some high level process checks on the information received.

Note: The publisher and DACE assume no liability whatsoever for any damage resulting from the use of this Price Booklet or its contents. The information is not to be used in isolation, and the publisher recommends that independent verification of the information should be made.

New online platform 

While the data and methodology you rely on remain unchanged, the online platform has been modernised to better support today’s way of working. The new environment offers a clear and intuitive user experience, enhanced search functionality, and the ability to analyse and compare historical price developments across multiple editions. Rather than being tied to individual editions, users now have direct access to the latest available data, ensuring they are always working with the most up-to-date information.

From Edition 38 onwards, the DACE Price Booklet and DACE Price Booklet Online are available as separate products. This provides organisations with the flexibility to choose the solution that best suits their requirements. For professionals who regularly work with cost data, an online subscription offers instant access to current information, powerful comparison capabilities, and a platform that will continue to evolve in line with industry needs.

The renewed online environment is also the first step towards a more connected future. DACE is exploring opportunities to integrate its data directly into tools such as Excel, estimating software, dashboards, and AI-powered applications, making trusted cost information even more accessible within everyday workflows.

If you are currently visiting our previous online platform, we invite you to discover the benefits of the new environment and take advantage of the enhanced functionality available through DACE Price Booklet Online. Existing access codes for earlier editions will remain valid on the previous website until 1 October 2026; however, all new developments and future enhancements will be focused on the renewed online platform.
