Frequently Asked Questions


Is there a discounted version for student or classroom use?

Yes, we have created a discounted dataset appropriate for a variety of projects using costs from the year 2011. While it is a great collection for students and teachers to use in the classroom, professionals should use a tiered option to access accurate, up-to-date construction costs.

Are office subscriptions available?

No, each user will need to have their own license, but one person can purchase multiple licenses and administer them as needed.

How long does the subscription last?

The default term for a subscription is 12 months. The subscription renews unless manually disabled.

Is access to any other products included in my subscription?

No, you do not have access to Books, eBooks, CDs or any other RSMeans data products with your RSMeans Data Online subscription.

Are there discounts available?

The Packages and Full Library were designed to give a large price break compared to purchasing each dataset individually.

Testimonials

"When we are considering a new market to develop, RSMeans data is our source for determining the costs relative to other markets where we have historical costs available."

Michael Dyer
Director of Project Planning

"RSMeans data is our go-to source... for pricing and estimation and is formatted in such a way that as you walk through the selection process it reminds you of items that may have been forgotten or not discussed during the preliminary design..."
