Allowances from Clauses

Including Allowances from the Clauses File

You can also flag allowances in the Clauses file that is a part of the MacNail construction management software, whether or not they are flagged in an estimate.

To do so, follow these steps:

1. Open the Clauses file, and select any cells in the row or rows you'd like to allowance. You can select more than one block of rows by holding down the Command ( ) key while you drag the mouse through each block.
2. Choose Set Flags from the Options menu.
3. Click on the type of allowance you'd like to use, or click No Allowance to remove any existing allowance flags. Then click OK.

NOTE: See page 139 for more about the other flags used on a Clauses file.

4. Labor and Material allowances will be flagged by having L added to the flag column. Material Only allowances are flagged with M in the same column.
