Description
Estimate costs for capital construction projects.
A CU estimate provides detailed scenarios of how work might be performed to achieve a specific outcome for a capital construction project, as well as the estimated cost for each scenario.
Use CU estimates to perform, quote, and approve cost estimates for these capital projects.
The estimates you create and the associated costs are based upon CU design projects. Once the estimator responsible for a new project, creates a new capital project, they can then designate the project as a CU design project.
CU estimates include at least one work point and an associated compatible units library record. CU estimates also detail any specific scenarios (adjustments) that should apply to each compatible unit that is associated to the estimate.
Calculate costs (perform estimation) to designate an estimate as either quoted or approved, and to generate work order activities for an approved estimate.
