Although created for new, commercial construction, the assemblies data set can be adapted for a preliminary renovation estimate. All of the major construction items, including site work, concrete and masonry, wood and metal framing, doors and windows, and more are covered. Be prepared to estimate any job with this indispensable cost reference.
An accurate estimate of costs to build your particular project depends on location, project scope, specific components used and current market conditions. This reference provides immediate access to every imaginable cost associated with facilities construction and renovation, plus many common maintenance items with more than 48, unit price line items and thousands of assemblies.
The latest costs for green building materials, including LED light fixtures, wind turbines, electrical meters, car charging stations and more. This book provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of buildings and grounds, from preventive maintenance schedules on large boilers, to replacing fire hydrants, to resurfacing parking lots and more.
A wide array of green building products and systems--from high efficiency heating, cooling and electrical plumbing, to photovoltaic panels, green roofs and win power, to high performance glass and more.
Must-have data for a rebounding construction market with continual improvement to sustainable design Assemblies and unit price sample estimates in both print and electronic format along with a square foot section with full, green cost models for 25 building types.
The 76th edition of this bestselling cost guide has been updated and expanded to provide you with the information you need to estimate projects with confidence and accuracy, improve project planning and budgeting, and reduce risk. Electrical EstimatingMethods provides more than just data. Detailed discussionsabout the work itself help highlight factors that may escapenotice, and access to the latest cost data helps tie everythingtogether.
Features include: Discussion of current equipment, materials, and processes Means data for both residential and commercial projects Case studies that illustrate best practices Online access to the latest Means data for fast access on thejob The book discusses specific situations as well as generalpractices, and provides comprehensive guidance to the creation of atrue, current, estimation of costs.
For electrical contractors andestimators, Electrical Estimating Methods contains must-havecontent that simplifies the estimating process. Means Heavy Construction Handbook is designed to simplify the task by providing relevant information and advice for the problem at hand You'll find a tremendous range of expert advice on every aspect of heavy construction work Includes a major section on site evaluation and hazardous wastes. Provides a comprehensive understanding of heavy construction operations and equipment.
Explains techniques for hazardous waste site assessment and remediation. Provides guidance for analyzing and estimating heavy construction on a unit price basis. Explains and illustrates the math of heavy construction with formulas and sample calculations — solutions to a variety of productivity and operational problems. Provides a substantial Appendix of productivity and other reference data for estimating and project planning.
Explains successful management and supervision approaches — including guidance for those who oversee the work. A series of questions at the end of each chapter helps the reader summarize the content.
In addition, the chapter on computer estimating has been expanded to cover the new estimating software for performing quantity takeoff by computer, and content covering the procedures for conceptual estimating as well as parametric estimating has been added" The book includes information on sizing, productivity, equipment requirements, code-mandated specifications, design standards and engineering factors.
This all-in-one reference gives you the accepted standards and procedures for takeoff and pricing HVAC systems, as well as piping, plumbing, and fire protection. Includes all of the major mechanical systems in new building construction. It includes a glossary of mechanical terms and definitions — plus symbols used on mechanical plans, useful formulas, checklists, and conversion tables.
This updated fifth edition includes new coverage on the role of Building Information Modeling BIM in the estimating process, and over sample problems and exercises that show you how to apply cost data to your building project based on the RS Means Building Construction Cost Data.
The companion website provides access to RS Means CostWorks data, allowing you to use real-world numbers in your practice estimates, and the included Instructor's Manual provides step-by-step solutions to problems in the book. Focused on the practical aspects of estimating, this book emphasizes the application of estimating techniques—which are transferable to any estimating software—through problem solving and the ground-up creation of complete construction project estimates.
Estimating skills are fundamental to the construction industry, and are applied by all parties at all levels throughout the industry. This book is a hands-on guide to the techniques and tools used to create a thorough estimate, with plenty of opportunities for practice. Apply cost data to all aspects of the building project Practice your skills on over sample problems Construct a complete estimate using RSMeans Besides being an essential construction skill, learning estimating helps you become familiar with reading and understanding construction blueprints and how construction assemblies are built.
