Description

IPMG boasts extensive expertise in delivering project management services specifically tailored for building construction endeavors. The company has played a significant role in the development and construction of high-quality, ready-to-occupy homes that meet international standards. In a strategic move, IPMG entered into a partnership with R.S. Means, based in the USA, to create a comprehensive construction cost database and estimating system tailored for the construction sector. This collaboration received approval from the Ministry of Commerce and Industry under the category of “Database Development for the Construction Industry.” As part of this initiative, IPMG developed the BuildSystem, which features an advanced construction cost database and estimating system. R.S. Means, which is fully owned by The Gordian Group, USA, has a substantial shareholding from Warburg Pincus, one of the world's leading private equity firms, holding a 51% stake. For over 75 years, R.S. Means has been recognized as a premier source of construction cost information in both the United States and Canada, serving more than 250,000 clients across these regions. Their clientele includes various entities, such as federal and state governments, military branches, utility and energy corporations, as well as architectural and engineering firms, highlighting the extensive impact of their services in the industry.

Description

RSMeans data in the construction industry is synonymous with detailed cost. It has been for decades. Robert Snow Means was Civil Engineer. He kept detailed construction costs in a series leather-bound books that he made at his kitchen counter. His ability to track equipment, material and labor costs impressed his peers in the 1940s. They began to offer to buy his "cost books." Gordian now offers RSMeans data. The database has more than 92,000 line items. Cost engineers spend more than 30,000 hours each year validating and researching the costs. The cost information can still be found in books, but it is also available through our dynamic estimating software. Construction costs include material, labor and/or equipment prices. They can be referenced at the unit or assembly level. RSMeans Data Online is a cloud-based solution that allows you to view localized construction costs.
