How to use the Project View

Project View

The Project View offers a singular place to track the key metrics of a project. The properties can be used to identify/categorize estimates for historical analysis, as well as to drive quantities/analysis in the Estimate View.

Some example properties include:

  • Total Building Area
  • Total Site Area
  • Project Duration
  • Number of Keys (for hotel)
  • Number of Spaces (for garages)
  • Market Sector
Using a standard set of properties sets your estimates up for consistent "apples to apples" comparisons in cost history.

Project View is a data entry point in DESTINI Estimator. It does not consume data from other locations within the program i.e. Estimate View cannot round trip data to Project View.

Adding a Project Property

The Project Properties field initially functions as a text box. However, once you input a numeric value, it becomes locked as a numeric field and cannot revert back to a text format. To change the field back to a text box, you will need to delete the existing field and create a new one.
