Project Bid Analysis - Base House by Cost Code
This view summarizes the bid and budget information by cost code with the ability to drill down to plan & elevation data. It does not provide the ability to drill down to take-off items.
The Base House by Cost Code view contains most of the same columns and functionality as the Base House by Plan & Elevation except:
The only "drill down" is to the Plan & Elevation
You may not drill down to view take-off items

Cost Code - The cost code and description separated by a dash
Mix - The number of units projected for the bidding project
