Re: Fw: bill of materials

edms or any microstation will do BOM consolidation but these are enterprise type software (heavyweight). If im doing a capital type project i will normally used the software develop by Richardson to perform a detailed material cost estimate and a LCC evaluation. Richardson has a built in-cost for pipe and fittings including manhours and contingencies. nice reporting format too. But if you are after consolidating the material take-off only and manhour and cost is not of concern then MS Access would be a better choice. A lot easier to program and do a queries.
