Comparison report window

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.

You decide which categories, quantities, and totals to include and the sort levels, ranges, fonts, and page layout to use. There are also options 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.

Use the buttons in the window to print, preview, or export the report. Before printing, you can view or change the report options and printer setup. For more information, click the Help icon available on the ribbon on the title bar of the window and then click a button.

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