The Civil Engineering Works Index (CEWI) is a quarterly index compiled by the Civil Engineering Department as a means of relating the cost of civil engineering works at current prices to those at 1980. The CEWI is based on the labour and various material costs indices published monthly by the Census and Statistics Department. The weighting factors used were based on a comprehensive review of over 350 Government civil engineering works contracts during the period 1984 - 1987.
