of accurately priced System Items. Each System Item is uniquely
configured with essential attributes:

material items and supplemental labor items.
- Material items contain correct calculations
and valid pricing.
- Supplemental labor items contain correct
calculations and accurate production rates.
- Each system item clearly reflects its Master
Items List Description.
- Allows immediate access to a complete system
via a single item selection process.

Question:
How can DMI Databases for Quick Bid accomplish accurate pricing
results automatically for the limitless multiple variations of
Condition Details?
Answer:
DMI Databases for Quick Bid employ unique methods
of systematizing data relationships among Master Items and height/perimeter
entries in the Condition Detail; operating in concert with height/perimeter
entries, the selected Master Items automatically formulate correct
ratios to extract accurate material and labor values for any Condition
Detail.
Question:
How can the data in DMI Databases accommodate various fluctuating
cost values throughout the multitude of geographic regions?
Answer:
The production rates entered throughout DMI Databases
for Quick Bid support cost-effective* productivity levels for journeymen
earning prevailing wage and benefits in the Chicago metropolitan
area. Typically, other regions with lower hourly labor costs incur
lower productivity
levels; production rates can be adjusted proportionally for each category of work within minutes. Regions with higher hourly labor costs typically achieve the same production rates, thus requiring no production rate adjustment.
*Cost-effectiveness requires employment of journeymen who are experienced
and highly skilled in each specific assignment performed; productivity
levels relate to work performed during regular working hours and
favorable environmental conditions.
