I'm interested in how most users enter cost items and quantities into InEight for bottoms-up estimating. Here are the main options:
- Manual entry
- Copy from a template
- Excel import
- Quantity Items from BlueBeam
- Embedded workbook (Excel or cloud-based)
For direct work, we typically use template copying and Excel import. For indirect items like staffing and equipment plans, we use an embedded workbook with a Gantt-style spreadsheet that accumulates staff and equipment hours, linking directly to the CBS. Let me know your approach—I'm happy to share more details if helpful.
