Crews page

Modified: 7 Sep 2026 Viewpoint Estimating Estimating Help

Use the Crews page to enter labor costs into the visual assembly. You should only add labor costs that have a unit of time on the Crews page of a visual assembly. If you want to add a labor cost item that has a unit that is not a unit of time, add it to the Miscellaneous page of the visual assembly.

By adding labor cost items that have units of time, you can add production rates that are specific to this visual assembly. This enables you to account for any special circumstances of the visual assembly.

Adding labor costs to visual assemblies is similar to selecting cost items for other parts of the visual assembly. You select a cost item that has some measure of time for its unit from a Lookup, enter a production rate, then select the appropriate units for the production rate.

For example, you could select a Concrete Finishing Crew that costs $100 per hour, enter a production rate of 20, and enter SF for the unit of the production rate. This would give you a labor item that can finish concrete at a rate of 20 SF an hour at a cost of $100 per hour.

Each visual assembly can have five labor crews on the Labor page. If you have additional labor costs, you can add them to the Miscellaneous page. However, you won't be able to enter production rates for these items.
