Understanding "Maximum Of" pricing calculations for Cladding Cover Sheets

Learn how to quantify cover sheet to protect iron cladding through the Maximum Of pricing calculation feature.

Using Shedmate for Cover Sheet Estimation


1. Introduction to the Lesson 0:00

generated-image-at-00:00:00

  • Overview of the lesson's purpose:

    • Learn to use a variation of the sum of for estimating cover sheets.

    • Focus on cover sheets for trimdeck and corrugated cladding.

2. Importance of Pricing Database 0:15

  • Explanation of why a new pricing database item is not needed:

    • The cover sheet uses the same price as the cladding.

    • Future price changes will apply to the same item.

3. Duplicating the Corrugated Item 0:24

  • Steps to duplicate the corrugated cladding item:

    • Rename the duplicated item to 'cover corrugated iron cladding'.

    • Open the new item for modifications.

4. Modifying Pricing Calculation 0:41

  • Change the calculation method from summing to maximum:

    • Purpose: To find the maximum length of cladding needed.

    • Need for two sheets (top and bottom) for protection.

5. Calculating Maximum Length 0:48

  • Explanation of the calculation process:

    • Shedmate considers 38 items.

    • Maximum length identified is 4.2.

6. Duplicating the Rule for Quantity 1:11

  • Steps to duplicate the rule for quantity:

    • Duplicate the rule to account for two sheets.

    • Total length calculated is 8.39.

7. Adding Calculation Description 2:00

  • Importance of adding a description to the calculation:

    • Describe the purpose of duplicating the rule for clarity.

8. Understanding Primary vs. Secondary Calculations 2:54

  • Explanation of primary vs. secondary calculations:

    • This calculation is secondary as it relates to accessories for cladding.

9. Confirming the Calculation 3:19

  • Steps to confirm the calculation:

    • Ensure both corrugated iron and cover sheet are included.

10. Applying the Same Process to Trim Deck 3:29

  • Steps to duplicate the process for trimdeck:

    • Modify the calculation method to maximum.

11. Finalizing TrimDeck Calculation 4:04

generated-image-at-00:04:04

  • Explanation of the trimdeck calculation:

    • Maximum length identified is 4.8.

    • Total cost calculated for cover sheets.

12. Conclusion and Next Steps 4:55
