Cost/Unit columns (all categories)

For each category, this spreadsheet column shows how much one takeoff unit of each item costs. To calculate the cost per unit, Sage Estimating divides the cost of a category by the takeoff quantity.

Tips:

You can change values in Cost/Unit column only at the item level.
If an item has a takeoff quantity of zero, you cannot change the cost per unit.
The cost and unit description are actually separate columns. They can have different characteristics and offer different commands on the shortcut menu.
Collapse the spreadsheet to see values for the upper two levels. The Options command controls whether information displays when the levels are expanded.
The cost per unit also appears in the Unit Costs tab of the Detail window.
