Construction Estimating Software Features - RS Means Commercial Composite Cost Database

This database is used mostly by general contractors, architects, and design-build firms who are involved in commercial and industrial projects costing $1,000,000 and up, or large multi-family housing projects. Costs are primarily for new construction or major renovation of buildings rather than repairs or minor alterations. It is a combination of 4 databases: Building Construction Cost, Electrical, Mechanical, and Plumbing.
