5.0 out of 5 stars
2007 Edition: Excellent reference for budgeting or estimating,
By Eddie (Duluth, MN) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Residential Cost Data 2006 (Means Residential Cost Data) (Paperback)
The 2006 Edition is a worthwhile buy and pays for itself quickly. I wish I had bought it much earlier in my home budgeting process. The information is well organized in a user-friendly manner. It even has cost adjustment factors for hundreds of cities. This should help you to be prepared somewhat before you start negotiating with builders and contractors.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book if you are building your own home,
By A Customer
This review is from: Residential Cost Data, 1999: Square Foot Costs, Systems Cost, Unit Costs (Means Residential Cost Data 1999) (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for estimating the costs involved in building a new home. It provides enough detail to get a good idea on costs. It is not as detailed as some of the other books out there but for a person like myself it has proved to be an invaluable tool. And it is easy enough to use as opposed to some of the other books out there.
