It is an estimate that you setup as one of your\u00a0master estimates to create estimates in order to test HCSS routines and see how they work.

So dig in and investigate\u00a0but don&#8217;t create a test estimate from your\u00a0\u00a0standard master. It has too many variables and data. Make a simple master and call it TESTMAST and setup one labor, one equipment and one crew with the combination of the two. You want the bare minimum so if you have to do a hand calculation you are not overwhelmed. \u00a0If you want to use mine download and restore the TESTMAST. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/montverdeengineering.box.com\/s\/d5ckbmgq43c05log1cy03gurq3sj6yqq\">LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/arthurnix.meicivil.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/images.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-483\" src=\"http:\/\/arthurnix.meicivil.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/images-300x141.jpg\" alt=\"images\" width=\"300\" height=\"141\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is a Test estimate?
