Description
RSMeans data in the construction industry is synonymous with detailed cost. It has been for decades. Robert Snow Means was Civil Engineer. He kept detailed construction costs in a series leather-bound books that he made at his kitchen counter. His ability to track equipment, material and labor costs impressed his peers in the 1940s. They began to offer to buy his "cost books." Gordian now offers RSMeans data. The database has more than 92,000 line items. Cost engineers spend more than 30,000 hours each year validating and researching the costs. The cost information can still be found in books, but it is also available through our dynamic estimating software. Construction costs include material, labor and/or equipment prices. They can be referenced at the unit or assembly level. RSMeans Data Online is a cloud-based solution that allows you to view localized construction costs.
Description
TurboBid founder Bill Ruffner discovered in 2007 that necessity is indeed the mother of invention. He knew that the best way to estimate his jobs was to use a computer. He is a contractor with over 25-years of experience.
Problem? He couldn't find a estimating program that met his specific requirements. He decided enough was enough. He decided to create his own estimating software that could be used to estimate all types work, including residential, commercial, remodel, and service work. TurboBid is much more user-friendly than other estimating software. It can be used to estimate all types of work (residential and commercial, new construction, remodeling, flat rate pricing, etc.) and it produces a superior bid package.
