Alternate
The Alternate tool is where you will create change orders, or list alternate options for your customer. You can add parts to an alternate, and the cost will be displayed on your proposal - without adding into your project cost. You can also build change orders in an alternate, and send them directly to your customer!

Buckets are the different cost calculators inside in each item's Adjust Part page. There is a material, labor, and subcontractor cost bucket included in each part.
