3 Bid it

Check every line before it prices

The counts land in the estimate as device lines. Change a quantity and the hours and material recalculate.

What to look at

  • 23 device lines, each with quantity, calculated hours and a review mark
  • 393 duplex receptacles come to 196.5 hours
  • A line that is not checked yet says "Needs review", so nothing slips into the bid

Build the pay application

What to look at

  • Each line shows scheduled value, previous, this period, stored material and to date
  • Earlier applications 3 to 6 stay on the left, one click away
