A construction cost estimating software for medium-sized to large companies in civil engineering and commercial real estate.
RSMeans Data Online from Gordian is a construction cost estimating software with a large database available in various formats. The solution provides level of cost details (unit price, assemblies, and square foot models), labor rates/wages, and estimate tools using this cost model data.
The construction estimating software helps plan budgets by using as accurate construction costs as possible. By creating estimates with unit costs, assemblies, or square foot models, users can validate unfamiliar costs or scopes of work and also maintain existing buildings with schedules and detailed costs.
The Core tier of RSMeans Data Online provides reliable construction cost data and the tools necessary to access costs at the material or task level. Users can easily create unit line estimates with RSMeans data from Gordian and share them from the web-based application.
The cost of RSMeans Data Online starts at $300/year for a single dataset in the Core package. The software’s cost is determined by the number of datasets needed and the package tier required. The package tier determines the level of cost detail and the time span of data available. There is a free trial available. There is no free version available.
Purchasing the full library dataset is the most comprehensive option and includes every individual dataset offered. This is the best value offered by RSMeans Data Online:
I was asked to prepare preliminary budgets for the renovation of a non-profit’s facility, which allowed them to get the funding they needed for the project.
When we are considering a new market to develop, RSMeans data is our source for determining the costs relative to other markets where we have historical costs available.
We expanded our RSMeans data library to include remodels and interior design which has helped in our expanded services to clients, particularly with remodels and interior work.
We use RSMeans data to estimate MEP Infrastructure costs for construction and it has been extremely accurate at providing realistic budget pricing that we can trust and use to help our clients plan spending.
