Cost Library
Your company's reusable assemblies, materials, labour roles, equipment and contract scopes, with price list import.
The Cost Library holds the building blocks your budgets are priced from. Find it in the sidebar under Home > Cost Library.
Tabs
- Assemblies: saved assembly templates, ready to drop onto a budget.
- Components, with four libraries:
- Material (items with units, packs and prices)
- Labor (roles and rates)
- Equipment (rental items and rates)
- Contract Scopes (subcontract packages with their inclusions)
Each library has search, Show archived, a table or card layout, New, and Import a price list.
Import a price list
Any member can upload an .xlsx, .xls or .csv price list (up to 25 MB). Tidy reads it, and an admin reviews and accepts the rows before they join the library.
Save an assembly as a template
On a budget, open an assembly's menu and click Save as template. It appears in Assemblies for every future budget.
Starter content
An empty library offers Add starter assemblies. Tidy also comes with a large catalog of U.S. ceiling grid and panel items. They have no prices until you add yours.
Who can change it
Everyone can read and use the library. Only admins can edit, reorder, archive or delete library rows. Changing a library item never re-prices assemblies already on a budget.
