TAMPA, FL - D4COST, conceptual estimating software, is currently available for a trial download, good for 12 uses, at www.d4cost.com.

D4COST takes the guesswork out of estimating construction expenses, allowing users to access an historical library that includes more than 1,100 documented, completed projects. D4COST is ideal for anyone in the commercial building industry concerned about the accuracy of proposed, pre-construction budgets, from architects to general contractors, appraisers to estimators, and all engineering firms, government agencies and insurance companies in-between, whether a small one-person firm or a Fortune 500 company.

The software from D4COST takes just minutes to download and once accessed is simple to navigate, making cost modeling easier - and more accurate - than ever before.

D4COST allows someone to compare projects - even those separated by years or thousands of miles - by adjusting for variances in construction costs from site to site, region to region. The software enables users to come up with reliable cost reports through a Base-Target-Rebase system that uses history and the marketplace as the standard.

The D4COST demo is PC-based, compatible with Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000 XP and Vista. The system was introduced in 1990 through Design Cost Data magazine.
