Medical care facilities were designed with “normal” care business in mind. They were certainly not designed with the flexibility needed to treat pandemic patients. So let’s examine a few ways healthcare facilities leaders can create facilities flexibility.
Selecting the right green construction materials can be difficult. It’s hard to know which ones truly follow sustainable practices from their raw state to the supply shelf. As you consider materials, examine the process required to get to that end-state material along these five parameters.
Developing accurate cost estimates is tough, but cost item assemblies simplify the process with vetted components for scope completeness and price accuracy.
Sustainable construction begins with innovative design that embeds resource utilization and responsibility in every part of the building and construction lifecycle.
Take a look at how construction costs changed from 2020 to 2021, what RSMeans Data has done to help you account for the effects of COVID-19 on construction and more.
2020 has been a year of change, and that goes for construction costs, too. Learn how we’re helping you keep up with the change in our 2021 RSMeans data release.
Over his 12 years with Nelson Engineering and millions of square feet of building assessments, Tom James has stuck with RSMeans data for his estimates for public- and private-sector clients.
How can you build an estimate for a large, complex project and be confident that your figures reflect actual market costs for different locales? It’s a difficult task. Luckily, there are tools designed to address this exact problem: The City Cost Index and predictive cost data.
Hurricanes Irma and Maria devastated Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands in 2017. To support FEMA’s disaster recovery efforts, Gordian enhanced and added localized construction cost data for affected areas to the RSMeans database.
Federal owners have long faced challenges with accurately estimating projects, relying on professionals to predict the cost of work multiple months or years in the future. That is where predictive cost data can help. Download this whitepaper to learn about this emerging technology.
