What things actually cost to build in your county this quarter, from contractors who just built them.
A contributed cost database with real geography.
No account. No card. No sales call.
The problem
Published cost databases are national averages adjusted by a crude regional multiplier, and they are wrong by 20 to 40 percent in any specific market.
Contractors price from memory and from last year's job, so they underbid and lose money or overbid and lose the job.
Material costs have moved violently and no reference has kept up.
Who this is for
Residential and light commercial general contractors, remodellers, estimators and insurance adjusters who price work and are currently guessing at regional costs.
