Clarification of Labor Calculations and Hour Reporting

Several users have expressed confusion about how the software calculates labor hours, particularly when costs are configured per square foot or per linear foot. Some users feel that labor is not being accounted for or question the logic behind how hours are added when multiple workers are involved. Although a recent update now adjusts the task time (rather than the hourly rate) when a unit cost is modified, it is suggested that a specific field be added for the number of workers and that the display of total hours be made more transparent in reports and breakdowns.

Open the cost editor to verify Required time (h) and the quantity unit; adjust time per unit to control labor calculatio
Open the cost editor to check “Time Required (h)” and the unit of measure; adjust the time per unit to verify the labor calculation
Open the estimate summary to see labor shown as quantity x unit price; note that hours are not displayed here
Open the estimate summary to view labor as quantity × unit price; note that hours are not displayed there
