Cost Research

Rider Levett Bucknall attaches great significance to industry participation and research, and a substantial proportion of our resources are devoted to this end. Our cost publications are a prime source for information on construction, property and facilities management.

As experts in field of construction related costs, members of our technical team use researched data and historical information to develop the Quarterly Cost Report, which takes a look at the comparative cost of construction in 13 U.S. cities.

With participation from Rider Levett Bucknall offices around the world and compiled by our central cost research team, our International Report analyzes global cost data to derive indexed measures of relative costs of construction within and between international markets.

Considered by many clients as a valuable resource for U.S. and international construction cost data, our Riders Digest is updated on an annual basis.

Experienced technical consultants regularly provide commentary in industry related White Papers discussing such topics as Cost Escalation, "Green" Construction, and other timely, newsworthy articles.
