D4COST.NET Users enjoy features of D4COST software for easy, reliable cost modeling on historical construction costs. D4COST.NET includes cost escalators through 2011 and over 500 regional modifiers to use in conjunction with more than 1,300 historical construction projects included on the NHBCdb (National Historical Building Cost Database). Users select a project that is similar to the one they are conceptualizing, change the bid date and location for a new construction cost estimate. Users can alter the square footage of the model to fit the size of their new project. Cost models can be downloaded into an .XLS compatible file for additional customization. Case studies on D4COST.NET are sold in multiples of 1, 5, 10, 30, etc. With purchases of 100 case studies or more, users get a free license to D4COST Express to house the case studies they have purchased on their desktop.

DCD’s philosophy of cost modeling on actual historical construction cost data has become the industry standard.
