It is as good as writing Quantity Calculations manually.
Formulas are entered directly in terms of numbers, including Opening & Closing Brackets, as we would have typed them on calculator. Whereas with Formulator, a List of Items of Work for which the Quantities are to be calculated is first defined. Totals of various sheets are then linked to assemble Quantity Summary. Formulas are applied on these Cells to get total quantity of one Item in that sheet. Dimensions are entered in L, B, D Column Cells of the sheet. When Quantities are worked out with the Spreadsheets, usually separate sheets are created for each Item of work. It is now possible to reduce all these hassles by using this software for an easy and quick way of estimating quantities involved in Construction Projects. They are in terms of Cell Nos (like A1, B1 ) and not easily understandable by one who has not created that sheet. One has to click of cells to see these Formulas.
Formulas are hidden inside cells and are not visible. The use of spreadsheets (like MS-Excel) is a widely accepted practice, but it involves a tedious work of Linking of cells. BarBeQue comes with a General purpose software module, Formulator for Quantity Estimation of all Items of work in a Project, apart from Reinforcement Steel.
