Creating a New Estimate in Sigma

< 1 min read

To start a new estimate in Sigma, follow these simple steps:

Start Sigma by clicking on the desktop icon or choosing Sigma from the Start menu.

Sigma opens to this page, where you can select a template for your new estimate.

Sigma will open the new estimate to the Front Page tab.

On the Project information tab, enter the Project Name, and any other information you wish, such as the project number, the name of the Estimator, etc.

Selecting other tabs in the Front page gives you the opportunity to add additional information about the project such as a description, RS Means settings, Mark Up, adds and cuts, etc.

When finished, click on the Content tab, and start building your Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).
