What is RSMeans?

In the construction industry, RSMeans data is renowned for its comprehensive cost details, a reputation it has upheld for many years. Founded by civil engineer Robert Snow Means, he meticulously compiled construction costs in a collection of leather-bound volumes created at his home. His skill in tracking expenses related to equipment, materials, and labor garnered admiration from his colleagues during the 1940s, leading many to seek to purchase his "cost books." Today, Gordian provides RSMeans data, which features over 92,000 distinct line items. Each year, cost engineers dedicate more than 30,000 hours to verifying and researching these costs to ensure their accuracy. While this essential cost information remains accessible in printed books, it is also offered through innovative estimating software that enhances usability. Construction costs encompass expenses for materials, labor, and equipment, and can be examined at both the unit and assembly levels. Furthermore, RSMeans Data Online serves as a cloud-based platform, enabling users to access localized construction costs conveniently, making it an invaluable resource for industry professionals. The evolution of this data has transformed how construction costs are approached and managed today.
