Displaying takeoff hours by job or job phase

Note: This functionality is available only if you have the Estimating Module.

You can view a summary of the labor hours for each task in a job or in different phases of a job. The estimated hours to complete each task with cost type 2-Labor are summed up in the Display Takeoff Hours grid or the Display Takeoff Hours by Phase grid. From the estimates, you can calculate the necessary crew sizes for completing a task in a given period and adjust the schedule accordingly.

For example, for a project in which it is estimated to take 100 worker hours to complete the foundation forming and reinforcement, a crew of five would complete the task in 20 hours. However, a crew of 10 could complete the work in 10 hours.

To display takeoff hours by job or job phase:

  1. Open 10-3 Schedules.
  2. On the Options menu, click Takeoff Hours, then click either Display Takeoff Hours or Display Takeoff Hours by Phase.
