Is the cost estimate including all material or installation only? Also, what is the purpose of the estimate - is it for a competitive bid or for a client to look at alternatives? Have you been given direction on the estimate as far as accuracy?

What I would do is take widla's information and also check a few material costs & compare them to your 2003 cost data and that should give you an idea of how to escalate it. I would look at materials and labor separately and not try and come up with a single factor. Local labor rates can be compared to what is in Means for a labor factor.
Then use your Means to come up with a cost and use your factors to get to a rough 2008 estimate. I would also docuement the estimate assumptions.
