About this title

Synopsis

Means Building Construction Cost Data 2004 contains unit costs for more than 23,500 building components. These completely-updated costs are carefully prepared from the experience of thousands of contractors and suppliers in the twelve months just before the book is published. The cost data is arranged in the 16 CSI MasterFormat95 divisions, allowing for fast, accurate estimates.

The 2004 Reference Section provides the depth of technical detail needed to estimate projects with precision and expertise. This invaluable supplemental information is not found in any other cost reference.

Important enhancements vital to 2004 estimating work include:

--"Green" building construction - materials that are made from recycled products or are environmentally friendly such as waterless toilets, insulation made from recycled materials, rainwater collection systems, paints with no odor or vapors, recycled carpeting and padding, structure relocation (rather than demolition), ground water recovery systems, fuel cells for back-up energy, and solar energy.

--Vinyl Windows-costs for additional types and styles.

--Security materials and systems - radiation monitoring equipment, window guards, air cleaning devices, uninterruptible power supplies, closed circuit video monitors, security gates, and parking barriers. Mold abatement - covers air ducts and walls.

--Reorganized Site Construction Division, which includes updated numbering and new sections, in line with MasterFormat Level 5. For example, utility poles and light poles were moved to 02580 from Div. 16, and masonry demolition was moved to the masonry section.
