Receive a 25% discount on all RSMeans publications and construction forms.

Companies putting together a bid or an estimate know that cost data books can be valuable, but expensive, reference guides.

To help firms with these costs, the BX offers a 25% discount on all RSMeans publications when ordered through the Exchange. Nonmembers receive a 10% discount.

RSMeans, recognized as a national authority for its publications' accuracy and information, offers over 100 titles, including:

  • Building Construction Cost Data
  • Square Foot Costs
  • Labor Rates for the Construction Industry


RSMeans produces cost data publications on many trade specialties, including mechanical, plumbing, electrical, concrete and masonry, interiors, landscaping, site work and heavy construction.

Architects, engineers, contractors, facility managers and government agencies use the cost information guide to prepare estimates and evaluate projects.

In addition to the cost data books, Means offers reference guides such as the popular: 

  • Spanish/English Construction Dictionary 
  • Means Illustrated Construction Dictionary with CD
  • Green Building: Project Planning & Cost Estimating

BX members are guaranteed priority shipping by RSMeans. When the publications arrive at the Exchange, your firm is contacted immediately by phone for pick up at the BX.

Also available is the Means 2010 CostWorks CD. This comprehensive digital library provides detailed cost data titles that cover every job costing requirement you can imagine - all at your fingertips.  Each title addresses a specific area of the building and maintenance industry, available separately or in specially priced packages.  Plus, you have access to regular cost index updates and unlimited access to additional valuable resources on the RSMeans website included in the price of the CD.  

When you place your order, Means will send you one CostWorks CD-ROM and a special access code for the specific digital cost book(s) that you selected.  If you want to order additional cost titles later, Means will give you the appropriate access codes designed to work with the CD-ROM you already have.
