Use Subcontractor command

Use this command on the shortcut menu to specify which subcontractor in the bid grid you want to use for the estimate. When you specify a subcontractor, the bid amount appears in the Sub Amount cell of the item from which you opened the bid grid. Other items included in the bid have an asterisk (*) as the sub amount.

If an item already has labor, material, equipment, or other amounts in the spreadsheet, you have the option of clearing or keeping those amounts.

Tips:  

  • To open the shortcut menu, right-click a sub name in the bid grid.
  • You can also choose the subcontractor by double-clicking the row header.
  • To restore items to their original category amounts in the spreadsheet, choose self-perform.
