New York Cost Estimator

Developing cost estimates during the planning phase can help planners provide important information to aid in decisions when working with conservation plans. The New York Cost Estimator provides cost estimates that a customer can use during the planning phase of the practice, system or project to determine estimated total implementation costs.

Cost estimates are derived from RS-Means data and local data for selected zip codes. The output includes an estimate of the total implementation costs, a contractor estimate sheet and a bill of materials sheet.

New York is divided into six Soil and Water Conservation Committee Regions. A specific cost estimator spreadsheet is available for each region.

These files require Microsoft Excel.
