Cost library
Drop public reference costs or your own past projects into the estimate, moved to this project's region.
The Cost library tab lists unit costs you can add to the estimate as line items.
Search and add #
Search by name ("foundation", "framing", "concrete", "my projects"), set a Qty, and click Add. The item joins the estimate's line items, adjusted from the region it was observed in to this project's region.
The seeded items are rough public references (national averages and public bid prices), each with its source, date and license. They aren't estimates for your project. Your own past projects are better data.
My costs #
My costs is your own cost history, saved with this estimate.
To record a finished project:
- Type the Finished project name, its Total construction cost, its SF, its Region and the Year.
- Click Record $/SF.
It's saved as a cost per SF and shows up in the library search, moved to each new project's region.
To add any other unit cost of your own, click + Unit cost of my own and fill in the row.
