Course Description
This course aims to inform and demonstrate the principles of more advanced use of zones in CostX®.
info The exercises are based around the use of example files and templates which have been developed for demonstration and training purposes only. Actual implementation of the software and templates will depend on users own resources and specific reporting requirements.

Module 1 Course Setup
In Module 1 we shall import a CostX® Project file, incorporating previously created CostX® Building files, which will be used as the basis for conducting this training exercise. We shall also import a copy of the Rate Library that was used in the preparation of the Building.

Module 2 Measuring Dimensions into Zones
In this example all of the dimensions already measured have been allocated into zones and it is therefore possible to isolate quantities by their designated zone, thereby returning the associated cost. In this module we shall set up an additional zone for this project and apply it to both new and existing dimensions. We shall then use these zoned dimensions to analyse the estimate.
-
Module 3 Using Zones in Workbooks
In this module we will review how the zones can be utilised to easily filter quantities within the workbooks, for example to split Cost Plans or Cost Estimates into different parts of a project as is often required by Clients. For more assistance in using the Zones functionality, please refer to process flowchart “PFC 9-2 Creating and Using Zones”.
