BNI Remodeling Costbook 2009

Here you'll find national averages for prices a contractor would expect to pay, plus allowances for handling, wage rates for each trade and type of work, as well as overhead and profit.

You'll find prices for the most difficult types of estimates, such as demolition, cutting and patching, working around existing conditions, plus minimum quantity and costs.

This specialized remodeling edition of the Building News Construction Costbooks covers all aspects of this unique type of estimating -- hidden costs, working around existing conditions, minimum quantities. Costs for overhead and profit are different because a different type of contractor does remodeling work and the jobs are much smaller than those for new construction.

Costs cover all divisions of the CSI MASTERFORMAT and are presented in a unit format with separate material and labor pricing. Also included are costs for asbestos removal and an extensive section on demolition. Complete man-hour tables provide labor data and scheduling information.

CSI MASTERFORMAT

All data in the Costbook pages and Man-Hour tables is organized according to the CSI MASTERFORMAT - the industry standard numbering/classification system. The data is divided into the 16 divisions as shown below. The five digit numbers within each division correspond to the MASTERFORMAT Broadscope designations.

Each section is further broken down into MASTERFORMAT Mediumscope designations. These numbers, in most cases, are the same as those used in architectural and engineering specifications.

The construction estimating information in this book is divided into two main sections: Costbook Pages and Man-Hour Tables. Each is organized to the 16 divisions of the CSI MASTERFORMAT as shown below. In addition, there are extensive Construction Reference Tables, Geographic Cost Modifiers, Square Foot Tables and a detailed Index.

Sample pages with graphic explanations are included before the Costbook pages, Man-Hour Tables and Square Foot Tables. These explanations, along with the discussions below, will provide a good understanding of what is included in this book and how it can best be used for construction estimating.
