| 60th Annual Edition -
Current building costs for residential, commercial, and
industrial construction. Estimated prices for every common
building material, the labor cost to install the material
and a total "installed" cost. For those jobs where you can't
rely on your past experience to estimate, rely on the prices
in this national standard of construction costs to get you
safely in the ballpark.
Provides manhours, recommended crew, and the labor
cost for installation of every job and practically every type of
material in construction. Provides clear descriptions on what is
included in the job being estimated so you know exactly what the job
and the prices for that job entail. Every cost is carefully
described. It even provides suggested crew sizes, and equipment
rates.
New costs for 2012 include: pollution control costs for motor
generator sets, costs of hydronic boilers, windstorm certified roof
turbine fans, wind turbine generators, garage exhaust fans, hybrid
central and heating and cooling, LEED certified boilers, and LEED
certified hydronic hot water generators.
