Variance report window

This report shows the differences between the takeoff quantities, unit costs, and category amounts from two estimates. It presents the actual differences side by side so you can quickly spot unrealistic costs without having to sift through unrelated details. For the selected categories and sort levels, the report prints:

• Quantities, unit costs, amounts, and totals with variances
• Totals and variances for each phase or major division

You decide which categories, quantities, and totals to include as well as 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.

The buttons on the Variance Report window allow you to print, preview, or export the report. Before printing, you can view or change the report options and printer setup. For more information, click on the title bar of the window and then click a button.
