You can probably pick up an older hard copy of one of the RS Means Guides for a low price. Usually, productivity rates won't change much...just the cost of labor and cost of materials. You must buy the software for their digital guides...it is by subscription and is a little picky as to how it works from year-to-year. I try to buy it every year so that I don't have problems with it when I need it. I don't use it often, but when I need it...I need it now.
If you are "estimating" for engineering purposes, keep in mind that you should be providing an engineering opinion of cost, not an estimate of cost...there's a difference and you need to know that. Leave the estimate of cost to a contractor.
If you are estimating for a contractor, historical data from that contractor will be your best source of productivity data. The Means estimates and others (Walker, etc.) will be conservative on crew size and labor productivity.
