Pressing the Sub button will display the window shown in Figures 1 and 2. From this screen you can select subcontractors to load into the task. You can also enter the minority status of each item. Figure 1 Figure 3.36 is the same screen with the “Minority Details” expanded. Description Quantity Unit Price The unit price entered here is only a default. When you load the crew into an estimate, you can change the price at that time. Minority Information This button will expand the sub cost display to include options for selecting a specific sub from the contractor database as well as entering minority information.
This section is used to select the minority status of the current item. Instead of selecting the minority status, you can select the “Specify Below” option, then select a sub from the Contractor Database. This option is only available if you select the “Specified Below” option. The Contractor list box will display a list of all the contractors in the contractor database, and the minority status will be initially set to the setting that is saved in the database (you can change the minority setting at any time). If the contractor you need is not listed, press the “NEW” button to add the contractor to the database. Pressing this button will display a window allowing you to enter all the needed information about the contractor and add that item to the Contractor Database for future use. Figure 2
