THE ESTIMATE ARRIVES SOONER, AND KEEPS PRICING BEHIND IT Generating a schedule used to hold you while every material price was checked with merchants. None of those checks changes which lines exist, so the estimate is now handed back as soon as it is written and the prices carry on being checked behind it. A bar above the rooms says how many products are left, how long it has taken and roughly how much longer, and says plainly the whole time that the estimate below is complete and some material prices may still move. Lock the phone or close the app and it picks up where it was. EVERY LINE SAYS WHERE ITS RATE CAME FROM A line priced from your own catalogue, your labour roles or a schedule of rates you are let under carries no mark, because on a healthy estimate that is nearly every line. The exceptions are marked, and they are the ones worth five minutes before a price goes out: "Web price" for a figure read from a named merchant, "Judged" for one the estimator reached on its own, "Not priced" for a line with no figure at all. EDIT THE ESTIMATE BY SAYING WHAT YOU WANT CHANGED Type it the way you would say it to a person: remove the provisional sums, two plumbers over three days instead of one. It reads the estimate, works out what that means line by line, and shows you the plan with the money against it before anything is written. Nothing changes until you approve it, and anything it could not do is listed with the reason. WHERE THESE PRICES CAME FROM One screen totting up how much of the estimate is your own rates, how much was priced from a published source and how much is still a judged figure, in money rather than in lines. It ranks what is worth checking by what is at stake, and lists the products your catalogue does not hold. WHAT ELSE MOVES WHEN A DURATION CHANGES Cleaning, skips, welfare and scaffolding are priced from how long the job is on site. Change a trade's days and you are shown every line that follows from it, with the money, each one a tick you set. It also tells you if the new duration does not fit the work the line describes. It never blocks you and never changes your number. EVERY BRIEF THIS JOB HAS BEEN PRICED FROM History shows what was asked, when, and what came back. Any brief can be sent back to the generate screen to edit and run again. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE Dark mode now works on every screen rather than most of them, and follows the phone automatically. Maps no longer carry a watermark. Preliminaries default to 8% to match the web app, so the same job prices the same on a phone as it does at a desk.
