We are going to define the formula for calculating our estimation as the area of the measurement times the price per unit. The second column we will create will be to calculate the estimated cost of materials.Enter a Name (for example, “Unit Price”).įrom the Format list, select Currency. The first column we will create will be to track the unit price of our materials.Select the Custom Columns tab and click Add. Open the Markups List and go to Markups List > Columns > Manage Columns.Custom columns can be created and assigned for any tool in the Tool Chest, including those provided with Revu. However it is possible to fill the prices in later, or change them at any time.
The most efficient way to use this feature is to set the price before creating takeoffs, so each markup already has the correct value assigned. We'll use custom columns in the Markups list to assign a price to Tile 4, and Revu will automatically calculate how much the tiling will cost.
For instance, let’s say Tile 4 costs $1.99 per square foot. It is common to want to assign a unit price to an estimation tool.
