Cost difference between HPPE and uPVC

[Civillegend]

Does anyone know how much extra a water system costs if
its built from hppe including all junctions and fittings
joined by electrofusion as opposed to standard upvc.
I have been being asked to prepare a cost estimate and have worked with upvc systems before but have little experience with hppe.

Try getting a hold of a copy Spons Civil Engineering Price Guide or similar. Spons is a UK publication but there should be others for different countries.

ELectrofusion fittings ar 15-20 times more expensive than solvent cement ffittings in uPVC.
