Implementation Plan - Estimating - Optional - Cost Database

Do you want to type cost line items manually every time in an estimate? Probably not, so building a standardized cost database will save time in the long run and provide consistency in terms of pricing even though it may be initially tedious to develop a list of equipment, labor, material and sub items. Luckily, Sage Construction Management provides a Microsoft Excel import option for these items which can save time.
