CUBE Startup Guide for Beginners
(Estimating & Engineering)
In the next section we will cover the necessary steps on how to complete the setup of your CUBE account. Before we start, you will need to download and install the CUBE Excel add in. The Excel add in is an addition to Microsoft Excel that facilitates the connection between your company’s data and CUBE’s data.
Click on the following link to enter a folder where you will be able to find and to download three files: the installation file, the Excel template and the User Guide. Please download the files and proceed with the installation.
Step -1 How to Import Your Data
In this video, you will learn how to import your company’s data using the Excel add in. When your account is created we place some data in it to facilitate the use of CUBE for the new user. However you still need to import your company’s information and, together, we will import each of the necessary data blocks that you will later use in your CUBE account.
Step-2 Import Labor Rates
In this video, you will learn how to update the labor units in CUBE with your own hourly rates. When your account is created, CUBE is preset with commonly used labor units for our industry. However, you still need to update this preset data with your company’s hourly rate in order to generate accurate estimates. Together we will update the necessary labor costs that you will later use in your CUBE account.
