Note:
The English 5 Year Catalog is now available for reference, only to
investigate prices on English items that do not have a
sufficient 3 year bid history. Do not use this
catalog to obtain prices for the entire estimate!
Metric catalog updates will be posted only when new
metric items are added. Since there are no up-to-date metric bid
histories, it is recommended that if users have a metric project that they
convert to English units, obtain an estimate using the ENG3yr catalog, and
convert back to metric units/prices
