Not much of a report other than the price per foot and effective date of valuation.

Some folks on another forum I read have said they use this 'new' service and claim it's easier than BC-net.

But like my buddy Randolph mentioned, I'd like to see an actual PDF of one of their reports.

I put the BC-net print-out (as a PDF) into my reports, and would want to do the same with DwellingCost.com.

The M&S 1007 form is way too time consuming and complicated, even when using Swift Estimator.....it ain't "swift!"

I use DwellingCost.com Here is a sample report. It really doesn't get much easier.

Have enough new construction for most that we can just extract from new home sales.

Does this account for things like driveway, water hookup (wells), sewer tap (private sanitary-septic), and landscape, for example?

Dwellingcost.com is a dwelling replacement cost estimator. It gives you replacement cost per SF multipliers for the dwelling, garage, basement, attic, etc., in order to complete the Cost Approach. "Things like driveway, water hookup (wells), sewer tap (private sanitary-septic), and landscape", I account for under "as-is value of site improvements".

Not bad, and the price is right. But two of my local bank clients will not accept that brief of a report for new construction. They want to see a breakdown, a 1007 or something similar, but I haven't found a similar form/service.

Building-cost.net is high for for the majority of homes in my area, but I sometimes use it as a check. The Craftsman Cost book at one grade below average seams to fit best most of the time.
It has support for the agricultural and small commercial buildings also making it much less costly on a a renewal basis. If I need a Marshall & Swift analysis I can use their on line site and
paste it in. For outbuildings local fliers supply the materials price and I can build the finish out of local costs.

Will have to give that a try. Have used http://home.costhelper.com/

for costs to cure before.

Building-cost.net is useful for cost approach, or extracting site value, have not tried dwellingcost.

I use Marshall and Swift but supplement with costhelper.com and the California Assessor handbook costs
