Comparison report

This report compares the takeoff and order quantities, unit costs, and amounts by category for items from up to ten estimates. It is useful for comparing the unit costs of similar projects or comparing the preliminary and final designs for a project. For the selected categories and sort levels, the report prints:

  • Quantities, unit costs, amounts, and totals.
  • Totals for each phase or major division.

To create this report:

  1. On the ribbon, select the Reports tab, and then from the Advanced Reports group, click Comparison Report.

    In classic view, select Reports menu > Comparison Report.

  2. Specify which categories, quantities, and totals to include and the sort levels, ranges, fonts, and page layout to use.
  3. Specify whether to allocate addons, round unit prices and quantities, combine items, print a table of contents, shade headings, group columns by estimate, and start each sort level on a new page.

Tips:  

  • Sage Estimating (SQL) temporarily closes the selected estimates when you choose this command. They reappear when you close the report window.
