As you know, square-foot
costs can vary widely, making them difficult to use for
estimating and budgeting. But the 2013 ENR
Square-Foot Costbook eliminates this problem by
giving you costs that are based on actual projects -- not
hypothetical models.
For each building type you
get a detailed narrative with background information on the
specific project. This lets you put the cost data into
context and make appropriate adjustments to your own
projections. This years book has focused on Medical,
Industrial, and Government project data.
Developed in partnership with
Engineering News Record, Design Cost Data,
and BNi Building News, this ready-reference
costbook also features illustrations of each building type,
a guide to 5-year cost trends for key building materials,
Plus detailed unit-in-place costs for thousands of items --
from asphalt and anchor bolts, to vents and wall louvers.
