Assemblies
An assembly is an estimating tool that calculates the material and labor quantities required to construct a portion of a house plan. Assemblies let you pre-set the cost code, choice, and items, and then calculate the quantity using a formula, layer-by-layer. For example, a footer assembly might calculate concrete, rebar, and labor for trenching. The user can set the cost codes, material, and choices, and then calculate the quantities for each different plan.
Note
Assemblies are one of the most powerful tools in BuilderZen that provide immense value by reducing the amount of time it takes to build a plan takeoff estimate and manage changes to that estimate over time.
