For each category, this spreadsheet column shows how much one takeoff unit of each item costs. To calculate the cost per unit, Sage Estimating (SQL) 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.
