“As a full
time construction cost estimator, working directly with
architects and engineers to develop owner’s budgets from
the conceptual stage through bid documents, I find that
DCD Magazine and the online database provides a
substantial selection of building types, sizes and the
historical costs that I can quickly reference on-line.
The breakout of divisional costs along with the written
descriptions of project specifications provides a solid
understanding of what is included in each of the
separate areas, thus providing a higher level of
estimating confidence when evaluating differences in
types of construction. It is also a plus, with the
online database, that I can escalate a past project’s
cost forward to today’s costs or the future and have
regional modifiers factored into my project cost model.
DCD Magazine has become a regularly used, valuable tool
for our estimating staff to better understand actual
costs and how they can be used in future budget
estimating.”

Some
of the benefits include:
- A ‘Go To’
resource like the DCD Archives allow contractors and
subcontractors to evaluate new areas of business. Do they want
to expand their market into churches from home building, or from
schools to medical projects? What costs are associated with the
different areas? Subscribers of the DCD Archives can study
different types of construction and target those costs to their
area.
- Access to
a massive historical project cost database is any estimator’s
dream. A historical project cost database is a valuable resource
to benchmark costs, determine budgets, to establish a project’s
feasibility and more. The DCD Archives has the largest database
in the industry of real projects
subscribers can work with.
- A third
party check on estimates is a must these days. Owners,
contractors, subcontractors, estimators, or other professionals
can use the DCD Archives as a ‘quick check’ to validate their
estimates.
- Be
responsive to a client’s question. The DCD Archives provides
reliable answers quickly with confidence when clients asks, “How
much do you think this would cost me to build?” Being able to
generate an answer – before plans are drawn – keeps the
discussion going and often results in new business.
- Receive
each issue of Design Cost Data for a year via postal delivery.
