From the Foreword
Since 1942, RSMeans has been actively engaged in construction cost publishing and consulting throughout North America. Today, more than 65 years after RSMeans began, our primary objective remains the same: to provide you, the construction and facilities professional, with the most current and comprehensive construction cost data possible.
Whether you are a contractor, owner, architect, engineer, facilities manager, or anyone else who need a reliable construction cost estimate, you’ll find this publication to be a highly useful and necessary tool.
With the constant flow of new construction methods and materials today, it’s difficult to find the time to look at and 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 RS Means. We keep track of the costs for you, along with a wide range of other key information, from city cost indexes, to productivity rates, to crew composition, to contractor’s overhead and profit rates.
RS Means performs these functions by collecting data from all facets of the industry and organizing it in a format that is instantly accessible to you. From the preliminary budget to the detailed unit price estimate, you’ll find the data in this book useful for all phases of construction cost determination.
