South Bay Construction Announces 2012 Construction Cost Reference Guides
/EINPresswire.com/ The 2012 South Bay Construction Cost Reference Guide is available as a smart phone app (iOS and Android) or hard copy. It's a Bay Area-specific budgeting tool that delivers conceptual estimates within 5% of actual cost.
Leading bay area construction company has released the guides with updated 2012 cost information.
The Bay Area-specific budgeting tool delivers conceptual estimates within 5% of actual cost, and has updated construction pricing and market data, covering Building Shells (Warehouse, R & D, Office, Retail, Power Center and Parking Structures) and Tenant Improvements (Office, Medical / Labs, Life Science / Labs, High Tech / Data Centers).
The iPhone app (now available for Android) debuted in May 2010, as a digitized version of SBCI's popular hand-held cost reference guide. There have been 5,678 iTune App downloads to date, averaging between 20-30 downloads per week. Cameron Peach, one of three Managing Partners of SBCI, said "We're thrilled with the App. We were the first construction company to have anything like it, and it's been a great marketing tool for us. We use it every time we discuss beginning stage pricing with clients and partners." Cameron added "It's accurate - we just updated it with 2012 pricing, it's easy to use, and we get alot of calls from prospects and partners about it." SBCI is also happy with the 'buzz aspect' of the App, allowing them to get picked up by the San Jose Business Journal, among other publications.
Created for Real Estate Brokers, Developers, Architects, Construction Managers, Facilities Managers, Property Managers, Engineers and City Planners, the South Bay Construction Cost Reference Guide is a great tool for quick commercial general construction estimating.
Who Benefits from the iPhone (and Android) App?
- Developers can generate quick calculations on potential Projects (Building or Tenant Improvement) to plug into a proforma.
- Architects in the field can discuss different options with clients confidently put together different scenarios in real-time.
- Commercial Real Estate Brokers (who've just received requirements for 70,000 sq ft of Warm Shell Office space) can plug in the numbers and generate a quick, accurate estimate.
Each project can be specified with the number of Stories, the Shell (Warm or Cold), and the total Square Feet. The resulting Cost / SQFT and Project Cost can be archived with all of the details for later reference, shared via email with partners, or sent to SBCI for review and a more detailed estimate.
The Cost Reference Guide was developed by SBCI's marketing partner, MadPlum Creative.
