The software doesn't allow to right click copy and paste text feature so I have to jump through alot of hoops to export the estimate in Means to an Excel report and then copy and paste from there. > > The online version is great. I like not having about 4 tons of outdated cost books in my file cabinet. I like being able to see what an estimate would cost in the past just by changing to an older data set. The SF cost estimator feature is really good. The one complaint is the structural types to choose from never quite matches what we actually build here in Utah. It seems it is very "east coast" oriented. The cost gets pricey if you want something different than their preselected data set packages. I don't like the fact you can't just pick and choose data sets ala carte. I also wish the formulas would export with the SF cost reports. I waste alot of time recreating links and formulas after exporting to excel. ----- ### "RSMeans Data Online is Orderly and Effective" — 5.0/5 > **Christina** | *3 December 2024* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: RSMeans Data Online has accurate data preparation measures. > > **Cons**: RSMeans Data Online is fruitful and nothing contradicting. > > RSMeans Data Online is the choice that helps us govern all data solutions. ----- ### "simple reference" — 3.0/5 > **Alton** | *23 September 2021* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have used RS Means for years in book form for quick reference and always found it accurate and easily accessible. > > **Cons**: With the move to the software I'm finding it doesn't really allow me to have a short cut into my purchased program. I'd like a simple option to create a desktop link without going to RS Means on-line every time. This could be my issue, but a short cut hasn't been available that I can find. > > It provides me exactly what I need without a lot of difficulty. ----- ### "RSMeans is good to use." — 5.0/5 > **Steve** | *24 September 2021* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: ease of use on line just wish you could split windows to make sure and looking at estimate easer. > > **Cons**: need to fix mixing unit and assembly cost to do a completed preproposal. also would like to see my custom data base of my special items, this way its quick to see my custom date items to make search easer and to mod. > > most has been good ----- ### "RS Means Review" — 5.0/5 > **Joe** | *24 September 2021* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use the interior painting, drywall and finishes items the most. RS Means can streamline my estimate and i am confident in my quotes. > > **Cons**: Items are difficult to find...say I need a rust inhibitor for metal painting...try finding that item??? ----- Page: 1 / 13\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/24443/rsmeans-online?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/24443/rsmeans-online) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
