I'm sure I am just not understanding something but I think I am still at the same point I started with, that I will need to have an item for each piece of equipment as well as an operator item for each piece of equipment...for each phase....because for the estimation cost to be correct I need to have the cost for each of these when estimating
so it would look something like this:
Site
Strip Top Soil
Bobcat Operator
Bobcat Equipment
Excavator Operator
Excavator Equipment
Subgrade
Bobcat Operator
Bobcat Equipment
Excavator Operator
Excavator Equipment
but incorporating codes for ease of data entry as you suggested. I could setup the names to get the time for the equipment as you suggested but I don't see how that helps on the initial estimate if I am using QB to do the estimate. It wouldn't get the cost for each piece of equipment into the estimate, only in the actual when allocated, yes?
