Productivity Factor (Labor and Equipment)

For the labor and equipment categories, this spreadsheet column shows the factor Sage Estimating (SQL) uses to determine item productivity when repricing the estimate using a factor table.

You can change this value to increase or decrease the base productivity per item to reflect local working conditions.

Tips:  

  • The Productivity Adjustment Factor column is hidden by default. To see the column, select its Visible option in the Edit Spreadsheet Layout Details window.
  • Sage Estimating (SQL) displays factors in decimals, not percentages. A factor of 98.1%, for example, appears as 0.981.
