Book Reviews of RSMeans Building Construction Cost Data 2008, 66th Edition (Means Building Construction Cost Data)
Book Review: A useful encyclopedia of cost data - application for managment use could be improved
Summary: 5 Stars
This book, and its previous editions, has long been a standby reference for building owners, facility managers, and architects and, to a lesser extent, contractors.
The base cost information is broad, extensive, and detailed. However, this base information must be adjusted for area of the country, building type, and project specific productivity influencing factors. Each of these adjusting factors is critical, and cumulatively the adjustment can be significantly large - over 100% of base costs. This is too broad a range of adjustment to permit utilizaion of the adjusted cost figures with confidence.
More attention to determination of these adjustment factors would increase the accuracy of the adjusted costs, and make this book more valuable.
