Measurement Types

Purpose of Measurement Types

The purpose of Measurement Type is to pre-define how you want to measure a standard feature within a House Area.

For example, you may define a House Area as Bathroom 1, within each Bathroom 1 you may have e.g., 3 features that you need to focus on (typically for the purpose of Vendor Contract quoting – 1. Shower Floor, 2. Shower Walls, and 3. Floor Tiling.

Associated with each of these Measurement Types is normally either measured in Sq Ft/Meters or is just regarded as a single unit.

Tip

If your Trade Constractors quote you a price to e.g., floor Bathroom 1 for Model "XYZ" and give a different quote to floor Bathroom 2 for the same model, then use a single unit Measurement Type such as "EA" or "PCS"

If your Trade Contractors just quote flooring per Sq Ft., use this as the Measurement Type and make sure that you define the area to be covered in the "Model Item Applicable House Areas" Page accessible from Model Items within Models

Note

Measurement Types have global scope, which means once setup in one company, they are available for use in all companies
