Develop a models coding scheme
Consider the purpose of each model
List the individual assemblies and items required for each model
                                                 Planning a model
                                            Note: You require a license to use Sage Estimating Models.
As with other features in Estimating, planning is the key to building successful models. A model is only as useful as the components and values it provides. If a model lacks a critical piece of information, any estimate it produces will be inaccurate. Careful analysis will enable you to develop meaningful and complete models.
Before you start building models, you should:
- Develop a models coding scheme
 - Consider the purpose of each model
 - List the assemblies and items required for each model
 - Decide how to enter input for each model
