RSMeans Cost Data Books

With the constant flow of new construction methods and materials, it’s difficult to find the time to evaluate all the different construction cost possibilities. In addition, because labor and material costs keep changing, last year’s cost information is not a reliable basis for today’s estimate or budget. That’s why so many construction professionals turn to annual cost publications from RSMeans. Our titles keep track of the costs for you, along with a wide range of other key information, including city cost indexes, productivity rates, crew composition, contractor’s overhead and profit rates.

Using the UNIFORMAT II numbering system as a guideline, this indispensable tool provides you with thousands of building assembly and component costs for creating quick and accurate square foot cost estimates and verifying unit price estimates.
