Bill of Materials
The Bill of Materials table shows the total amount of all building materials resulting from the construction of the project building in either imperial or SI (metric) units.
Starting with v5.0 (July 2014), the Bill of Materials Table shows the amount of each building material by assembly group, as well as the total amount and the mass of each building material
Note:
The Bill of Materials will include all materials in the life cycle, including construction waste factor and replacements.
Columns:
Material:- Indicates the common name for each material specified in the Project.
Columns & Beams, Floors, Foundations, Roofs, Walls, Project Extra Materials:- Indicates the amount of each material, in each assembly group, specified in the Project.
Total Quantity:- Indicates the amount of each material specified in the Project.
Unit:- Indicates the appropriate SI or Imperial Unit of Measure for each material specified in the Project.
Mass Value:- Indicates the amount of mass for each material specified in the Project.
Mass Unit:- Indicates the appropriate SI or Imperial Unit of Measure for the mass of each material specified in the Project.
All Table and Graph reports use a "Report Viewer", that has a common toolbar. Each member of the common toolbar is detailed in the "Report Toolbar" page.
