I use RS Means in my business. Their data is comprehensive and up to date, and their web-based spreadsheeting tool isn't bad. A subscription is pretty pricey for DIY, but not bad professionally.
Of course, there are many great options for estimating construction costs these days, however, if you are considering building your own software solution, then developing on the .NET platform may be a good option. .NET has many tools and libraries for easy manipulation of data and calculations, making it highly suitable for creating construction cost estimating programs.
