Full cost calculation

Use a full cost calculation to include additional costs in your estimate and to price your tender. Additional costs are costs that do not arise from any specific tender line. Full cost calculations can be configured to allocate additional costs to tender lines.

Note: This article assumes that your company uses browser-based calculation, that is, that you estimate tenders in Broker Site Manager, not in Broker Estimate. If you haven't migrated to browser-based calculation yet, some details of this article won't be valid.

You can open a tender’s full cost calculation if the following prerequisites are met:

  • You have the permission to view tenders

  • You have the right to access the tender

  • The tender’s basic information includes a full cost calculation

To complete a full cost calculation for a tender, follow these steps:

  1. On the main menu, click Tenders.

  2. Find the tender and, to go to its page, click the arrow Arrow rights at the right end of its row.

  3. At the bottom of the page, click Full cost.

  4. Enter values in the spreadsheet’s cells, and move from one cell to another with arrow keys to ensure that values are saved. Each organisation has their own full cost calculations, and their design varies.

  5. To save the values, click OK at the bottom of the full cost window. The values are allocated to the tender as defined in the full cost calculation.
