Forestry contracting can be tough, with high capital inputs, volatile log markets affecting harvesting crews, and cost-of-living and inflationary pressures affecting forestry crews during 2025. Are you keeping pace with cost movements that are affecting your crew and profitability?
Forme Consulting have been producing the INFORME daily rate and cost escalation reports for over 32 years. Our aim has always been to provide independent and reliable costing information to the forest industry.
Many consider the reports to be the benchmark for harvesting, silviculture, and forest engineering cost information currently available in New Zealand. The reports provide a comprehensive range of estimated daily rates for machines, equipment, chainsaws, vehicles, labour, and overheads, which allows daily rate crew costs to be estimated. This insight is invaluable to contractors in whatever area of forestry, who may be preparing for contract price negotiations with their forest company.
