Costs and capital planning

# RSMeans

RSMeans is a construction cost database published by Gordian that estimators use to price labor, materials and equipment for building and repair work.

## Why it matters

Inspectors sometimes use RSMeans data to check or support repair cost opinions. Prices are adjusted for location and need judgment to match the actual scope. The database does not replace contractor quotes.
