ArenaSoft Construction Cost Data
ArenaSoft includes our own database of Construction
Costs. Click on a Section like “Masonry” to add that
category of work to your estimate.
Our Masonry database includes all the types & sizes of
Concrete Block and Brick, so you can select the ones you
need for this estimate. Unit prices, crews & assemblies
can be copied into your estimate with a click.
Our database is completely customizable which is what a
contractor needs. Every city has different costs. Delete
the sections you don’t need. Add your own lines within
Masonry so you can Estimate your way.
Our database acts like a check list. Use this screen to add
the major categories of work to your estimate. Then
within each category, add the lines you need.
RS Means Construction Cost Data
ArenaSoft Estimating was developed at a time when RS Means
Cost Books & data was popular. Thus in addition to the free
ArenaSoft Cost Database, we became a licensed distributer of
RS Means Cost data, and provided the Means Data to clients as
an optional additional cost.
General Contractors however prefer the ArenaSoft Cost
Database because they can customize the lines and costs and
make it their own.
As a result our GC clients rarely bought the optional Means data
and our RS Means data sales dropped off. We are no longer
licensed to sell the RS Means data. The RS Means functionality
and sample data remain in ArenaSoft as it is an integral part of
our software.
