Here's the easy way
to estimate the cost of all types of residential
construction projects! It's designed specifically
for home builders. This BNI 2013 Home Builder's
Costbook is the first place
you should turn, whether you're preparing a
preliminary estimate, evaluating a subcontractor's
bid, or submitting a formal budget proposal. It puts
at your fingertips accurate and up-to-date material
and labor costs for thousands of cost items used in
home construction -- concrete, framing, insulation,
painting, flooring, plumbing, and wiring -- based on
the latest national averages and standard labor
productivity rates.
What's more, the book
includes detailed regional cost modifiers for
adjusting your estimate to your local conditions.
The 2013
BNI Home Builders Cost Book Features:
- Material costs
for thousands of items based on current national
averages (including allowances for transport,
handling and storage).
- Labor costs
based on the prevailing rates for each trade and
type of work, PLUS man-hour tables tied to each
unit costs, so you can clearly see exactly how
the labor cost was calcuated and make any
necessary adjustments.
- Equipment costs
-- including rental and operating costs.
- Square-foot
tables based on the cost-per-square-foot of
hundreds of actual projects -- invaluable data
for quick, ballpark estimates.
With the 2013 BNi Home
Builder's Costbook, you'll save yourself time and
effort, while protecting yourself from hidden costs,
cost overruns, oversights, and hazardous
"guesstimates."
