“We are squarely focused on providing customers the best construction cost analytics and estimating information,” said Chris Anderson, Gordian’s Vice President of Data Strategy & Consulting.
RSMeans’ first year as part of The Gordian Group saw significant upgrades to its flagship offering, RSMeans Online, bringing a number of enhancements and new functions to the online estimating software. Specific updates included improved features for collaboration, dynamic assembly and square-foot cost-modeling, as well as the ability to save modified assemblies for future use. RSMeans Online is the fastest and easiest method for contractors, facility owners and managers, architects and engineers to access accurate, dependable and up-to-date construction cost data.
