Abstract
Cost estimators use inflation and location indexes to adjust costs for time and location. This paper reviews the use of these indexes, the d ifferent types of indexes available, and some caveats for using cost i ndexes. We have summarized about 70 indexes sorted by category to help estimators locate the appropriate index for their application. An exa mple of how to use indexes is presented.
