Construction Systems indicate where Segregated Estimator prints components and additions in the report. There are three different groups of Construction Systems:
Building (Superstructure) Construction Systems
Building (Nonsuperstructure) Construction Systems
Nonbuilding Construction Systems (following Depreciation)
The following list the Construction Systems in each group, and explains how Segregated Estimator handles depreciation for components and additions in each group. Click on any of the Construction System names to display a list of the components in that construction system.
Components and additions in the following Construction Systems are included in Subtotal Superstructure Cost in the report. Segregated Estimator automatically depreciates all components and additions within these Construction Systems using the depreciation percentage you set for the section (if any). You can override this automatic depreciation for individual components or additions by entering a specific depreciation percentage or an age and life (for straight line depreciation) for the component or addition.
Heating, Cooling & Ventilation
Miscellaneous Built-in Construction
Components and additions in the following Construction Systems are included in Replacement Cost New in the report, but are not part of the Superstructure Cost. Segregated Estimator automatically depreciates all components and additions within these Construction Systems using the depreciation percentage you set for the section (if any). You can override this automatic depreciation for individual components or additions by entering a specific depreciation percentage or an age and life (for straight line depreciation) for the component or addition.
Components and additions in the following Construction Systems are included in the Miscellaneous Costs that print below the Depreciated Cost in the report. Segregated Estimator does not automatically depreciate components or additions in these construction systems. The only way to depreciate them is to enter an individual depreciation percentage (or an effective age and typical life for straight line depreciation).
