A unit concept (labour, machinery, material, unclassified unit or unjustified job item) can have multiple prices, i.e. can contain several process which depend on the value of a parameter selected by the user. For example, a database (price bank or bill of quantities) can have the category City as a parameter, so the user can choose the desired city. Each city will have a price for each unit concept which has multiple prices.
In Arquimedes, unit multiple prices can already be included in a database when it is opened or can be created by the user based on a simple price. Quantities can be introduced using details tables and subtables.
Mathematical formulae can be introduced within these tables. These quantity tables can be linked in such a way that any modifications carried out in one will cause any other tables it is linked with to be automatically updated.Using this module, quantity lines can be obtained from DXF or DWG files. Quantities which can be imported include: counted amounts of elements, linear lengths, polygonal lengths, circular perimeter lengths, rectangular areas, polygonal areas, etc.
