CostBook 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. Data that is backed by the right people. We have a fully dedicated team of cost engineers, with decades of specialty field experience, to source the information needed to back our mission. PT&C CostBook features an intuitive and flexible organization of cost items so you can find what you need faster. Printed books have been around our industry for decades, but they are no longer an efficient way to look up and organize data.
Instead of highlighted and dog-eared pages, you can now favorite your most-used unit line items and quickly reference them later. Leverage the accuracy of our cost data to build better estimates.
Reliable Cost Data
When you use CostBook 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 – use our cost book for reliable construction data that’s updated monthly. We don’t hide how we get our numbers.
