Conversion of labor and equipment units

Sage Estimating has the ability to convert the labor and equipment order quantities in the spreadsheet from one unit to another. The conversion occurs automatically when you change the unit in the Quantity or Price column for labor or equipment. After determining the new price per unit, Sage Estimating recalculates the productivity and quantity for labor and equipment.  

Two things are required for this to happen:

• You must specify the standard working hours per day, week, and month on the Miscellaneous tab of the Database/Estimate Settings window.
• The items must have a time-based order unit (Hour, Man hour, Crew hour, Day, Man day, Crew day, Week, Man week, Crew week, Month, Man month, Crew month).
