Assemblies

Assemblies are a combination of Labor, Equipment, and Work Items that are part of a single system or operation of work and share common dimensional information which are defined using Variables. Like Crews, Assemblies added to an estimate will have their own unique details form which will list the variables, components, and pricing summary.

Important things to know

• Assembly components, such as Labor, Equipment, and Work Items, appear in the Estimate Sheet. The Assembly Header Description is not included.
• The Quantity fields for the Assembly Header and Components are not enabled and are calculated using Variables.
• Assembly pricing is the sum of the Components.
