Construction Cost Increases for Four College Building Categories
A college dormitory had the largest year-over-year increase in construction costs in April 2008 (+3.9% on average for 25 major centers) among four educational categories monitored by RSMeans. In second place was a laboratory (+3.5%), followed by a student union building (+3.0%) and a classroom (+2.8%). As for actual dollar-per-square-foot cost of construction, a college dormitory is most expensive. With respect to city increases, Chicago consistently recorded the greatest year-over-year percentage rise.

Favorite Book 2007
The Toyota Way is my favorite book for 2007. It had so many good ideas that I could not keep up and ended up reading it again and even buying the Field Book to go along with it.
Download Elegant Solutions from Change This which provides some highlights of the Toyota Production System. Too many ideas that are applicable to contractors to even count!
