Project Costs

The Project Costs tab holds bid-level costs -- such as mobilization, a dumpster, or a permit -- that apply to the whole job rather than to one line. BuildWorkPro spreads them across your line items' sell prices.

The Project Costs tab of a bid with the Add Cost form open on a new cost row

  1. Open the Project Costs tab. Open your bid and click Project Costs.

  2. Add a cost. Click Add Cost, pick a Product, add a Description, and enter a Rate in dollars.

The table lists each cost's Product, Description, Rate, and Per Unit amount.

Project costs are loaded into the sell price of your line items, not shown as a separate charge. The summary box reports:

  • Total Project Costs -- the sum of every project cost.
  • Per unit (avg) -- the total divided by your total line-item quantity.
