Each
section includes costs or cost
modifiers for all the important
variables: the materials used,
design features, quality, size,
shape, type of heating and
cooling equipment, number of
floors, wall height, and
geographic area. Nearly all the
figures you need for any
estimate or appraisal are
brought together in a single
page – reducing the chance of
error or omission. You follow a
simple step-by-step procedure
outlined for each building type,
accumulating and modifying the
costs to match the exact
requirements of your building.
Includes modification factors
for over 700 communities
throughout the U.S. and Canada,
and a construction cost index to
adjust costs for buildings built
in any given location and
previous year to current costs. |
