Takeoff Unit Costs report window

This report shows the takeoff unit costs and quantities for all items in the selected categories. It serves as a historical reference and is useful for spotting errors in the estimate. You decide which sort levels, ranges, fonts, and page layout to use for the report. There are also options to print notes; round quantities; include the cover page, estimate totals, level totals, and subcategory totals; and print shaded headings.

Sage Estimating (SQL) calculates a cost/unit by dividing the total extended amount by the takeoff quantity. If labor were priced by the hour and the material by the roll, you would see a unit cost by square feet for labor and material. You can use the cost/unit figure as a basis for future conceptual estimating or as a way to verify that your takeoff is within a reasonable cost per unit.

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 on the title bar of the window and then click a button.
