Bill, justification and issues screens: rebuilt from the live product on a sample bid. Figures are examples; the arithmetic is exact.
Select an Item, See Why It Costs That
The Selected Item sidebar has three tabs.
Justification
The remark, quantity workings with clickable links to the drawing source, the rate build-up, the basic prices used, the confidence and your own Note.
Issues
Threads on the item, filtered by register: technical, commercial, contract, clarifications, QA/QC and HSE.
Logs
Every change to this item, who made it and when.
Change One Price, Re-Price the Bill
Live Re-Pricing
Change a figure on the Basic Prices tab and every item that uses it re-prices at once. Save keeps it. The browser model mirrors the server calculation line for line, so what you see is what gets saved.
Three Sub-Tabs
Basic Prices for materials and labour, Allowances such as wastage and OH&P, and Measurements such as floor-to-floor height.
Locks Hold
A locked item keeps its rate when everything around it moves.
Server Does the Maths
Totals and checks are computed, not written by the AI.
Quantity Check
On the Overview tab, beside the bid summary.
