Announcing Microvellum Project Costing Tools
We are pleased to announce the new Microvellum Project Costing Tools in Toolbox. This article presents an overall view of this new Costing capability.
Previous versions of estimating and costing relied on library data configurations and those legacy tools continue to be supported in the new version of the program. However, this new method of costing does not require extensive library data prompt modifications and specific programs such as the Production module to produce estimates. It contains just three significant components that are needed to activate the full range of costing in Toolbox.
- Material file material cost amounts and/or labor time values for each material.
- Activity stations labor time and labor rate for each station.
- The Cost Based Estimating Report.
