Purdue University "The Building Construction Management department at Purdue University has embraced the use of MeansCostWorks online over the past year. The students enjoyed the user friendly nature of the on-line version of CostWorks and its export capabilities. Our faculty are excited about the use of on-line RSMeans databases in estimating and productivity evaluations. The use of this most up-to-date cost and crew performance data has great potential in both our estimating and scheduling courses."
