Purpose and functionality of the Library Estimate

The Library Estimate serves as a centralized repository of predefined components, materials, and labor resources for the estimation process. It allows users to select components, access material specifications, assign labor resources, create templates, and customize entries. The library enhances efficiency, accuracy, and consistency in estimation workflows, improving project planning and budgeting.
 

Streamlining Your Template Library with the CUBE Shop

We understand that building a comprehensive template library can be time-consuming, creating a barrier to efficiency from day one. That’s why we developed the CUBE Shop—a resource center where you can quickly purchase pre-built systems to populate your library. By investing in a well-stocked library, you can accelerate your workflow and start achieving results immediately.

How to Create a Duplicate of an Existing Estimate

Learn how to duplicate estimates in CUBE with this concise training video. Discover the benefits, navigate the interface, and follow a step-by-step process to duplicate estimates effectively. Explore advanced features like quantity modification, cost updates, and template structures to enhance your workflow. Gain the skills to save time, maintain consistency, and adapt existing estimates for new projects in CUBE. Basic understanding of CUBE's interface is assumed.
 

Exploring the navigation and structure within an estimate

The training video explores the navigation and structure within an estimate. Participants learn how to efficiently navigate through sections, explore subsections, and access detailed information. Understanding the estimate's structure enables effective management, accurate cost assessment, and resource planning within the estimate.
 

Working with the build your project page

The video demonstrates how to use the "Build Your Project" feature to add, edit, and configure components for estimates and engineering projects. It covers navigating the project tree, activating/deactivating systems, editing areas, and using advanced tools like copy/paste, IO configuration, and sequence definitions.

 

Working with the the build your project page, “Scope Of Work”

In the Scope of Work section, you can define tasks and responsibilities for the selected system, customizing the scope to align with project objectives. You can input this information manually and save it for generating a scope of work letter. This section automates the letter generation process using saved component data, saving time and ensuring accuracy. You can adjust the scope as needed when adding or deleting items. To generate the scope, choose between continuous or inline formats and format the document using the toolbar. The saved information simplifies quote letter generation, ensuring accuracy and efficiency.
