This MCP server provides a precise estimation engine for construction projects in the United States. By connecting AI agents to localized economic data, it allows for detailed cost projections based on city-specific base rates, structural material multipliers (such as material_multiplier_fetch results), and building usage intensity. Use city_base_index_lookup to find baseline rates, or run a complete calculation with estimate_total_burden by providing the city, square footage, material type, and usage category.

Estimate the cost for a 5000 sq ft residential building in New York using wood frame construction.

The calculation was performed using `estimate_total_burden`. The estimated cost per square foot and total project burden have been calculated based on New York's base index, wood frame multiplier, and residential usage.

What is the base construction rate for Los Angeles?

The `city_base_index_lookup` tool returned the baseline cost per square foot for Los Angeles.

How does using steel instead of wood affect my building costs?

By comparing the results from `material_multiplier_fetch` for both wood and steel, you can see the specific cost increase associated with structural steel.

Estimates are based on hardcoded baseline indices for the 50 largest US cities, adjusted by structural and usage multipliers. For a complete breakdown, use `estimate_total_lag` to see how all variables interact.
