Apply Uniform Resources to Estimate Subcategories in OnCost™ Estimating

New Options Further Enhance the Power of OnCost Estimating | Powerful Construction Estimating Software | UDA ConstructionOnline

The ConstructionOnline Team recently announced a powerful enhancement to OnCost™ Estimating, the industry-leading construction estimating system. ConstructionOnline Users can now apply uniform resources across all items within a subcategory of any construction estimate. This latest update streamlines the estimate-building process, improving consistency, speed, and accuracy across all phases of preconstruction.

With this release, a new “Resources” option has been added to the “Apply Uniform Values” section within Estimate Settings. When enabled, this feature allows users to quickly and easily assign consistent labor, equipment, material, subcontractor, or other resource types to every line item within a selected subcategory. Whether managing unit costs or allocating team responsibilities, users gain greater control over estimate details with fewer manual inputs.

Additionally, the new option includes a helpful sub-option—“Keep existing resources”—providing even more flexibility. When checked, this ensures any existing resource assignments are retained and not overwritten. This sub-option is only available when the primary “Resources” checkbox is enabled, preventing accidental changes when uniform resources are not in use.

These updates reflect UDA’s ongoing commitment to improving efficiency, standardization, and data integrity across every facet of construction financial management.
