Create estimate extras

Create estimate extras to add costs and labor for commonly used special items when there are no applicable labor codes in Tekla EPM. Estimate extras allow you to add as much labor and cost to a single item in an estimating job as needed. Estimate extras are often used for all labor done outside of your shop. For example, you can create estimate extras for items such as camber, rolling, and forming.

  1. Click the Maintenance ribbon tab

  2. On the menu, select Estimating > Labor Maintenance > Estimate Extras.

The Estimate Extra dialog box opens.

    To create copy of an estimate extra and use it as the basis of a new one, select the existing estimate extra in the list and click New - Carry Over.

  2. In the Code field, type an abbreviation that helps you identify the estimate extra.

    The abbreviation will be shown when you apply estimate extras to estimating items.
