Description
|
| Tax |
Cost added to Material expenses for local sales tax. |
| Typical Areas |
Repeating regions of takeoff that the program multiplies out so the user only has to draw the takeoff once. |
| Typical Groups |
A selected portion of takeoff that can be placed (marked) on the plans with one click rather than drawing all the takeoff objects separately. Sort of like a souped-up copy and paste, but all marked takeoff objects are linked back to the Typical Group so the user can make a change to the Typical Group and affect the takeoff wherever a marker was placed. |
| Typical Takeoff |
A way of speeding up the takeoff process by reusing or repeating something so the user only has to draw the takeoff once. See Typical Areas, Typical Groups, and Repeating Pages. |
| Unit Price Contract, Unit Pricing |
An estimate or contract based on the cost for completing some measurement of work (for example, for every square foot of flooring installed, the subcontractor is paid X). |

| WBS |
Work Breakdown Structure.
The method applied for grouping like job costs, for example, CSI Master Format or Uniformat. |
