What is an Estimate?

Let’s look at what the definition of an Estimate is.

An Estimate is an approximate measurement of quantities along with their associated costs which include (but are not limited to) a defined group of Items within a project. Quantities of Items can either be measured like Length, Area, Volume, and Count using Measurement operators or manually entered.

In CUBE, an Estimate is a high-level entity within a Project. Users can create multiple Estimates within their space inside a project.

A list of Estimates can be seen at a Project level, but it is important to understand that an Estimate will always be associated to its Space of origin.
