Getting info out of PDF docs: Scraperwiki or Openrefine (though I can't figure out how to use either yet)

Rsmeans sucks. Unless you pay for it. I need an accurate free source.

We pay for RSMeans square foot estimator which is fairly inexpensive and accurate for what it is. I've crosschecked it with verified construction costs.

 

Consequatur quae non pariatur culpa. Aut ipsum eligendi vel earum dolorem quia expedita. Ipsum vel sunt numquam ex. A tempore dolorem rerum sequi. Eum omnis quis explicabo numquam corrupti. Aliquam sunt veniam et laborum perspiciatis aliquid.

Quaerat aut nobis id voluptatum est. Nisi autem nisi ut voluptatem. Architecto illo aut enim eius. Iure illum ea voluptatem nostrum voluptatem laborum.
