Trimble Accubid and Trimble Autobid Systems
The Project Setup module can be used to link Trimble Accubid and Trimble Autobid estimating packages to the Spectrum Construction Management software.
Current Accubid versions supported include v11 for Accubid Pro, and version 6 for Accubid Enterprise.
These estimating packages use the Spectrum standard import as follows:
| Fields | Descriptions |
|---|---|
| Estimating method | Select Trimble Accubid or Trimble Autobid. |
| Default quantity cost type | Enter the Spectrum cost type code corresponding to the estimate quantity information. After you press Enter, the full cost type description displays from the Cost Type File Maintenance screen. Entry in this field is optional; it simply assigns a default. |
| Default subcontract cost type | Enter the default subcontract cost type code, if available. Entry in this field is optional; it simply assigns a default that can be overridden. |
| User-defined cost types | You can specify up to four user-defined cost types and descriptions for use in creating the historical cost file. These cost types are in addition to Labor (specified on the starting screen for Create Historical Costs), Material, Subcontract, and Cost Types #4 and #5 (specified in the Job Cost Installation screen). An asterisk (*) displays if entries have been recorded in the window. Select the drop-down arrow to display the User-Defined Cost Types window. |
