I do a lot of bill of quantities quotes so just need to get the cost for items without doing a takeoff, I have been unable to find a satisfactory way of doing it.
Anyone else do this who has any ideas?
If I send items to the takeoff I can see the price in the reports but several items are in assemblies so that does not give me a total without doing a takeoff, which I can do for most things but its slow but with areas it is hard to get an area of exactly 1
I did ask a while back if it was possible to have an extra column in the takeoffs and templates tabs that you could select which property to show which would be very helpful but this would still not help with the assemblies problem.
Any help appreciated!
Hey Kev, have you tried the Dev tools / MCP connection yet? Honestly, I think you'd be surprised how easy it is. You can explain in plain English what you're after and customise a tool for you needs and put it right into your Right Sidebar Tab.
🙂1I think that might be beyond my skill level but I will take a look, Thanks for the suggestion Luke!
Luke do you have to connect it to a LLM, Would gemini work?
Hi Kev,
Have you tried the Takeoffs Types, Manual Area, Manual Linear and Manual Count where you can type in the quantity
