Forme Consulting Group Ltd is pleased to be publishing the results of its inaugural Australian
2009 harvesting equipment price survey and comprehensive INFORME 2009 report. We
plan to conduct and publish survey results annually.
The benefits that INFORME 2009 can bring to your business are…………..

The machine and crew cost formats we use, have a very long pedigree in New Zealand and were
developed specifically for cost escalation and cost monitoring which has been done so for over 20
years. We have customised the formats to cater for the Australian business and regulatory
environment and these formats have been tested and used by Australian clients for the past 3 years.

The calculated machine costs we publish in INFORME are not intended to reflect or
determine market costs. The primary purpose of INFORME is to reliably and independently
monitor, track and forecast harvesting and wood supply chain cost escalation.

Along with these benefits a free telephone help service is available. If you believe your
operation is outside the normal operating conditions, we can provide customised cost data
