Repricing the estimate using standard database prices

You can replace the item prices in the estimate for selected categories using the current standard database prices. For example, you might want to reprice a historical estimate using current standard database prices.

To reprice the estimate from the standard database:

1. Open the Reprice Estimate from Database window in one of the following ways:

   • On the ribbon, from the Repricing group on the Takeoff tab, click From Database.
   • In classic view, click Pricing > Reprice Estimate from Database.

2. On the Categories tab, select the categories you want to reprice.

   For help on an item in this window, click on the window and then click the item.

   By default, all item prices are repriced. To limit the reprice to specific phases of items, specify the desired phases on the Phase Range tab.

   Ranges save time by limiting the amount of information that is subject to processing.

   To specify a range:

   1. Move the cursor to the From field, and then click to open the List window.

   2. In the list, double-click the beginning record for the range.

      This record appears in the From field.

   3. Move the cursor to the To field.
   4. Click to open the List window.
   5. In the list, double-click the ending record for the range. This record appears in the To field.
   6. You can enter up to four more ranges in the same manner.

3. (optional) Use the tabs to customize the Price Update report.

   • To select where the report prints, click the Categories tab and choose an option in the Price Update Report area.
   • To change the fonts or colors, click the Font tab and change the font settings.
   • To change the page setup, click the Page Setup tab and change the page setup options.

4. Click [OK].

5. Review the Reprice Estimate Confirmation window.

6. To continue with the reprice, click [OK]. Sage Estimating (SQL) reprices the estimate.

   To cancel the reprice and return to the Reprice Estimate from Database window, click [Cancel].
