Construction cost information and reference data publisher RSMeans, a division of Reed Construction Data, has released the third edition of the RSMeans Estimating Handbook, a reference guide for construction estimating and cost analysis.
The expanded third edition of the handbook is seen to cover the full spectrum of technical data required to estimate costs for major construction projects. It also covers construction specialties including green building, metal decking, plastic pipe and demolition items, and provides resources including updated city cost indexes, historic cost indexes and a reorganisation to the newest CSI MasterFormat classification system.
The resource is expected to cater to everyone in the industry, from experienced construction professionals down to students learning the basics of cost estimating. It includes information on sizing, productivity, equipment requirements, code-mandated specifications, design standards and engineering factors – all organised according to the latest CSI MasterFormat classification system.
The RSMeans Estimating Handbook seeks to help construction professionals evaluate architectural plans and specifications; prepare accurate quantity takeoffs; compare design alternatives and costs; perform value engineering; double-check estimates and quotes; and estimate change orders.
