We investigated this last year after an academic requested BD Online. I can't now find the exact sum quoted, but I remember it was prohibitively expensive for us to subscribe at the time.

How timely - I have a Building Design Rep coming to see me tomorrow
(at their request), so I imagine that they are trying to find out more
