The Metric Construction Cost Data has US national average pricing.

The City Cost Indexes for Canadian cities located in the back of the book or the references section of CostWorks are calculated using the Canadian material and equipment prices and labor rates, in Canadian dollars.

Therefore, indexes for Canadian cities can be used to convert U.S. National Average prices to local costs in Canadian dollars.

I wanted to know the rate used before printing the 2008 issue for the Canadian Cities index.

They are Canadian prices researched 4th qtr of 2007 for the book publications so the exchange rate would be whatever is was at that time frame.
