Staying ahead of cost trends can feel like an uphill battle. Market volatility, geographical variations and the lag between project initiation to build introduces unpredictability in the total cost of construction projects. Working in uncertainty can lead to budget overruns, delays and decreased profitability, making it challenging to keep up. But what if there was a solution that could turn these challenges into opportunities for success? To ensure success in any project, you need the ability to anticipate changes and make informed decisions.
Turn data into actionable intelligence with Gordian’s new Data Insights – Cost Trends Dashboard, powered by RSMeans™ Data. Unveiled at their 2024 RSMeans™ Data Webinar, Gordian’s latest tool empowers organizations to gain more real time insight into shifting cost trends across construction categories and geographies – all within a single, visually digestible dashboard.
Gordian’s Data Insights – Cost Trends gives you a comprehensive view into historical construction cost trends, providing visibility into current cost movements. This allows you to strategically evaluate and adjust your estimates and budgets based on how prices have fluctuated in past, similar market conditions.
