We all know that the subject of urbanism is complicated and more, If we delve into urban environments from the perspective of the calculation of execution on any urban action in send them.
Here the headaches and calculations are multiplied by 1000 if we want to see the development costs , But sometimes there are times when we need a quick response for an approximate budget, and being realistically, we have to be coherent with the answer.
Actually, this article comes from a seemingly simple question made by a colleague who needed a quick answer before the haste of a client... How much does it cost to execute a roundabout "X" in diameter?…
At that point we started to ramble; «Man!, the costs of execution of vials are complicated, here we have to do many calculations and also many factors involved… blah, blah, blah.”
In the end, we practiced a lot of "blah, blah, blah..." but we didn't know give you a consistent price in an instant that you needed a quick response.

Well, after doing some research and of course go through the Construction Price Base, we we found we had a perfect and easy solution for situations that require a quick budget response on development costs .
We are talking about a wonderful tool provided by the IVE (Valencian Institute of Building) called Module of Urbanization.
It is an instrument whose purpose is to determine the cost of execution of the most habitual and common actions in urban environments, complying with the regulatory and sufficient requirements quality levels in the finishes. From a minimum information provided, and depending on the endowments that we need, offers an advance of the PEM (Budget of Execution Material) of the performance.
For each typology, it is proposed as a reference module Coherent and sufficient finishing solutions are contemplated. In addition, the tool is complemented with a Module for performances singular ones that is destined to interventions in Assets of Cultural Interest or historic quarters.
The Urbanization Module is fed by the Urbanization Unit Prices published in the
The modules that we can consult the unit price is:
This module focuses on the costs for urbanization of roads and their different facilities as we can see in the following image.
By adding the width of the road in meters it will give us the unit value of m2. In addition, an explanation is provided description of the items; Firm, pavements pedestrian, sewage network, public lighting…etc.
Remember two good articles on vials; A tool free for the design of urban roads for pedestrians and the concept of urbanizing a road with a practical example.
An informative section is also offered in each module on the relationship of the usual chapters of a work of development, indicating which are covered by the module and which directly not.
In this section it lets us choose between place pedestrian, landscaped square and green area . In addition to to be able to choose the type of facilities and endowments, which in this case are sewage network and public lighting.
Offers a price in relation to their diameter with its corresponding description of the elements contemplated.
We will obtain the budget for urbanization a bicycle lane on a new layout or already existing.
We also have two very interesting articles about the interactive pedestrian crossing, which really surprised us quite and the wonderful traffic light for mobile.
Undoubtedly this tool will not save us from sitting together with the calculator or computer program "X" and practice proper calculations, but as a utility guidance seems to us an interesting contribution.
And if you are looking for alternatives, from this article you can consult different price bases for works and reforms.
