The Cordell Building Cost Guides are published on a quarterly basis, providing detailed cost information on building. There are various publications within the Cordell range, including cost guides for the housing sector, commercial sector, as well as the building materials index and student guide. The purpose of these guides is to provide comprehensive cost estimation tools in order to accurately project the cost of a building, including material acquisition, installation and other related particulars. Each guide is arranged as a straightforward index of products and services with corresponding price data enclosed. The information is compiled by professional estimators based on market research and actual building project data. The cost figures are considered to be quite up to date given the frequency of the guides.

The current prices are as follows. The commercial and residential guides are AUD$304.00 each, the price index is AUD$86.35, the student guide is AUD$55.00. Please note that the student guide cannot be used in actual project work under any circumstances. The purpose of the student guide is to provide hypothetical data for the training environment in building cost estimation. The Cordell guides are released in each state of Australia, with prices listed accordingly.
