This indispensable tool provides you with thousands of building assembly and component costs. With the accompanying drawings, explanations, component breakdowns, and reference tables -- all within one easy-to-use format -- you can quickly estimate a building's square foot cost and easily compare and price alternatives. You'll find separate reference aids with code requirements to assist you in budgeting any job, or in quickly checking a unit price estimate or subcontractor proposal. Tables of unit prices allow you to cost out virtually any combination of building components or assemblies -- in the logical sequence of how the building is built. Using the UNIFORMAT II numbering system as a guideline for consistent estimating and reporting, Means Assemblies Cost Data 2002 enables you to easily price and compare various building assemblies. Use the manual's complete examples and references to build your own assembly cost data file. The 2002 edition features: -- All the building components required to develop accurate square foot cost estimates and verify unit price estimates. -- Diagrams, descriptions, specifications, and costs. -- Costs to assist in making design/build budgetary decisions based on preliminary or conceptual information. -- Updated reference information and cost planning guidelines. -- Square foot costs for 58 typical building types. -- Easy-to-use estimating forms and index. -- City Cost Indexes and Location Factors for material and installation for over 930 zip code locations in the U.S. and selected locations in Canada, including How to Use information. -- Access to Means engineering staff for technical information about the cost data.

The cost data in this set has been organized in "assemblies" format. As such, it is most useful for developing budgetary estimates at the design development stage of a design project. Designers can easily compare the costs of using various construction systems, making informed decisions before committing to a specific construction or system type. The wage rate is union and the assumption is that the installing contractor have billings of $4,000,000 or more. It is aimed primarily at estimating commercial and industrial projects or large multi-family housing projects costing $3,500,000 and up. Although created for new, commercial construction, the assemblies data set can be adapted for a preliminary renovation estimate.
