Choosing the markups (addons) to use for the estimate

You can choose addons for the estimate before or after takeoff. Some estimators like to set them up before takeoff so they can see how the overall estimate is shaping up as they work.

To choose the addons for the estimate:

  1. Open the Totals window in one of the following ways:

    On the ribbon, from the Estimate Views group on the Home tab, click  Totals.

  2. Click The Addon button, available in the Totals window to open the Insert Addon window.

  3. Double-click the addon you want. The addon displays in the Totals window.

    Select additional addons in the same manner.

  4. When you finish selecting addons, click [Close] to close the Insert Addon window.
  5. Click [OK].

Tips:  

  • Do you use addons based on the current spreadsheet total? Where you place these addons in the Totals window is important. Example
  • You can rearrange the order of addons in the Totals window. (For more information, see Moving rows in the Totals window.)
  • You can print the estimate totals by clicking the Print icon.
  • You can update an addon in the Totals window when you select it, right-click, and then choose Update Addon from Database. Sage Estimating (SQL) replaces the estimate addon information with data from the standard database addon.
