Case Study: Peaslee’s Family achieves cost transparency and design credibility with Gordian’s RSMeans Data

Peaslee’s Family speeds cost estimating with Gordian’s 92,000-line-item RSMeans Data Online

The customer, Stuart Peaslee, RA, AIA, is a third-generation architect and principal of his own design-build firm. His challenge was to establish credibility in the market and differentiate his firm by providing clients with reliable cost transparency early in the design process. He turned to vendor Gordian and its product, RSMeans Data Online, for a solution.

Gordian's solution provided Peaslee with a cloud-based platform featuring localized, accurate construction cost data. By leveraging RSMeans Data Online, he could quickly generate square foot models and access over 92,000 unit line items to create precise estimates. This allowed him to provide clients with credible cost expectations, saving time on tasks that used to take minutes and enabling him to win and retain more business. The result was increased efficiency and the ability to uphold his firm's core value of integrity.
