CostBook Database Overview
With the most detailed construction data available, our out-of-the-box solution features over 35,000 searchable unit line items researched, validated, and routinely updated by experienced cost engineers. We have a fully dedicated team of cost engineers, with decades of specialty field experience, to source the information needed to back our mission. Our CostBook database is accessible when you subscribe to either of our cost estimating tools: CostBase or CostPro. Both solutions feature an intuitive and flexible organization of cost items so you can find what you need faster.
Reliable Cost Data
When you use our cost book with CostPro, you’ll be able to get the full functionality of what CostCenter offers. Your estimates are only as accurate as the data you base it on. Eliminate the guesswork out of your estimation process by getting access to reliable construction data that gets regular updates and can respond quickly to market changes.
Transparent & Verifiable
We don’t hide how we get our numbers. Users can view any item in our database to see the source, quote dates, and exact price. This transparency is how we empower users to create the most accurate detailed estimate possible. When combined with the robust features of our estimating software, users can make mass changes quickly and not have to worry about modifiers not populating in various aspects of their estimates. Our applications communicate these changes within seconds.
