Construction codebooks, references, estimating guides
How can you comply with the various construction requirements for your projects? By obtaining the applicable construction codes, references, and standards.
And then using them in design and construction. Here's a three-step tip for success in contracting:
Get the applicable code books.
Do the job once.
Make higher profits.
To make your life a little easier, we also offer:
Convenient payment. Pay with PO Number, credit card, or PayPal.
Fast checkout. It saves you time.
Fast fulfilment. Orders ship same-day (if placed by 2PM Central).
You lose money if you underestimate jobs. You lose bids if you overestimate jobs. The solution to both problems is an accurate cost data source. RS Means is that cost data source.
Just getting the job isn't enough. A good estimate is a core tool in managing costs so your jobs make money. On our RS Means Cost Data page, you'll even find free estimating tips. And if you want to know about RS Means, we have some info on them as well.
Our green guides help you make money on green jobs. Use these to understand and correctly apply low carbon, low-emission, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly features. You can incorporate green principles profitably, if you have the right information sources.
The push for green isn't going away. In many cases, you do green or don't do the job. Smart contractors have the related references, guides, and requirements on hand through all phases of the project. That's much more cost-effective doing rework. On our green guides page, we also have some free tips on low-cost energy reduction. Save your client some money, fatten your profits.
How can you avoid construction code violations in your state? By having your own copy of the applicable state codes. Callbacks and rework kill profit margins. Eliminate violation-fixing callbacks and rework. Do the work once. You usually don't get paid when you have to redo it.
The state building codes and construction codes cover a wide range of disciplines. These range from architecture to test protocols. In many cases, the state code is an adopted International Code. Some states amend these codes, some do not.
