      I standardavtal är á-pris definierat som ”pris exklusive mervärdesskatt för enhet av arbete”. Ett á-pris ska avse samtliga kostnader, inklusive kostnader för räntor och centraladministration samt vinst för en i entreprenadhandlingarnas mening färdig enhet av arbete.

  • Do not confuse with the term for price comparison per standard unit; see jämförpris (unit price).
