Here on the Recap
Page we see an overview of the estimate. All the Areas of Constructions
are shown as pages. You can view either Raw Material and Labor or
Extended Totals. You can Inactivate Pages from this location. This is
useful for implementing Alternates to the bid. An inactive page is NOT
included in the totals. You can also of course add, delete, edit, rename
pages, and merge in other estimates from here.
The Recap Page shown below is the central location of the
estimate. From this page you can set up the general layout of the
estimate, Add and Delete Areas of Construction (pages of the estimate),
merge other estimates, view totals etc… Many of the main functions for
this page are accessed through the buttons located at the bottom of the
page. Clicking your right mouse button over the Recap Grid can access
other functions. All functions are discussed below.
Recap Grid Columns
Page - Page Number (1 through maximum number of pages)
Active - Y = yes (Material and Labor included in Estimate
totals), N = NO
T - Page Type: R = Regular, C = Comment, Q =
Quote/Subcontract
Description/Location - Page name or "Area of
Construction"
Multiplier - This number is the quantity of these pages to
figure into the estimate. For instance if you were bidding a motel, this
number might indicate the number of rooms of the type that this page
represents.
Raw Material - Raw Material Cost - This column can also be
toggled to Extended cost by using the Unit Pricing Button
Raw Labor - Raw Labor hours before Job Factors. This column
can be toggled to Extended Labor by use of the Unit Pricing Button.
Total Unit Price - Total Extended Material and Labor per
each.
Extended Price - Total Unit Price times Page Multiplier
Cost per Sq. Ft. - Total Unit Price divided by the Total
Square Feet of the job.
Labor Hours per Sq. Ft. - Raw Labor Hours divided by Total
Square Feet of the job.
Page Material Markup - This value is set through Page
options on the Estimate Worksheet.
Page Labor Markup - This value is set through Page options
on the Estimate Worksheet.
Page Type - A page can be a Regular Page, Comment Page, or
Quote/Subcontract Page. Comment Pages material and labor totals will be
zero. A Quote/Subcontract Page's totals will be added to the estimate
after all other taxes and markups.
Recap Page Buttons
Add Page - Adds a new Estimate Page/Worksheet after all
existing estimate pages. For example in the screen above, clicking the
Add Page Button would add a new page named "New Page2".
Delete - Deletes the highlighted page. WARNING! This cannot
be undone! You will answer a prompt to make sure you want to delete the
page and all of its material and labor.
Edit - Go to the highlighted page. From here you can add and
delete material and labor. You may also double-click on a page to edit
it.
Unit Pricing - Shows extended totals for the estimate pages
instead of Raw Material and Labor.
Merge - Allows you to append pages from another estimate
onto the end of this estimate. On clicking this button you will be
allowed to choose an estimate then you can select the starting and ending
pages as shown below.
Inactivate - Toggles the highlighted page from Active or
Inactive and back. Inactivating pages removes their totals from the
estimate total. This is how you generally account for
"Alternates" for a job.
Activate All - Sets all pages Active and includes all
material and labor in the estimate total.
