(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?
(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.
Hello Everyone,
Just understand where the Cost of each activity would come from if you have to Cost Load a schedule.
The BOQ of a Project would have a lumpsum quantity say for example,
Concrete = 250 Cu M X 350$ / Cu M = 87,500 $.
And in schedule we have activity say,
So how can a Planning Engineer allocate the Cost for each activity based on quantity.

that can be one source but usually after the project is awarded the field team actually doing the work will take the project off again to ensure that nothing has been missed and to verify the quantities from bid.
so now you have to places to get the quantities.
Hi Zoltan,
So you need to Contact the tendering team to get the detail of the Quantity to cost load the schedule initially. The tendering team would have the detail of how they came up with the overall quantity.
So the Input would be from Tendering Estimation Team.

who made the schedule typically you have to know how much (units or quantity) before you can say how long (duration)
for example you cant just say it will take me 5 days to install lights in a particular room withput 1st knowing how MANY lights (units or quantity) are in the room and what type of lights there are. From there you cknow your rate of installation for 1 man or a crew and then you decide on how many men or crews to use. This will deteremine your duration. How much before how long.
some one should have the initial quantity take off who bid it ?
Hi Zoltan,
but who will give the Quantity for each activity of Cocnrete. Which engineer or department would give me the quantity so that I can allocate the quantity to those activity. Say there are
| Activity ID | Activity | Budgeted Quantity | Unit Rate |
| A1000 | Slab on Grade | ? | 250 |
| A1010 | Column - First Floor | ? | 250 |
| A1020 | First Floor | ? | 250 |
| A1030 | Column - First Floor | ? | 250 |
| A1040 | Second Floor | ? | 250 |
So who would give me the budgeted quantity / Activity.

filter for your concrete activities
select edit then select all
right click and select assign tnen select resources
then select the concrete resource that you make for concrete material
Hi Zoltan,
That I do know but there would be many activities related to Concrete in the schedule like I have refered.
I would like to know how to split that Overall Quantity to per Activity Quantitiy so that we can allocate cost to each activity.
Who can give that Input.
Regards
Jithin
create a resource make the name concrete make the type a material resource
then in the units & prices tab put in your price if c Cu M of concrete $350
now go to the concrete activites in the schedule and in the resource tab assign the concrete resource
now iin the budgeted units put in the Cu M of concrete for this activity 250
it will take the budgeted quantity (250) and multiply by the price per unit ($350) and give you a budgeted cost of $87,500
