The life of a project

Machinery and tools

How do I record the hourly use of our own tool on site?Each use charges the tool's hours to the project at its hourly cost.

Where BIM › Equipment › Bim Tool Use

Before you start

A product with Tool ticked and its cost. To choose a budget, its state must have Register tool costs.

How do I record the hourly use of our own tool on site?

Steps

  1. Go to Equipment › Bim Tool Use and click New (it is edited in the list itself).
  2. Choose the Product: the hourly Cost is taken from its cost.
  3. Enter Start and, when it is returned, End: Hours and Total are calculated.
  4. Choose Project and, if you want, Budget and Concept, and save.
Warning

Uses of the same tool cannot overlap: “…the tool was already used on…”.

While a use has no End, another use of that tool cannot be recorded: “…the tool has not been returned since…”.

Site note

The total adds to the project as Tools and can be seen on its Tools Use button.
