Engineered to provide the industry’s best ROI, UDA continually invests in its clients success through regular updates & new features added to the award-winning construction management software, including - 

ONPLAN™ SCHEDULING

ONCOST™ ESTIMATING

  • Added a navigational element to the Estimate sheet ribbon next to “Project Totals” that lists all Estimate sheets aimed at improving the usability of OnCost Estimating by allowing users to navigate to the sheet of their choice without having to horizontally scroll through the sheet ribbon
  • Confirmed importing an Estimate from Excel from the Estimate empty state is successful in all instances

PERMISSIONS
