BNiBooks Publications - Celebrating over 60 years of service to the Construction Industry

Welcome to the BNi Costbook demo page.

To get started, please select a Costbook from the drop-down menu below (only General Construction, Facilities and Remodeling are available in this demo), and fill-in all other fields.

The labor rates presented below are the national prevailing averages used in these BNi 2011 Costbooks.  These rates include the basic wage, plus commonly applicable taxes and insurance.  Using this online tool, you can modify them however you wish, to account for local conditions or closed-shop environments.  You can also use this tool to modify the default markup rate of 10% (used for overhead and profit) to reflect your own preferred markup rate.

Note: Only Division 15 (Mechanical) will be generated on this demo page.

(This will print on the cover of your PDF output.)
