Industry Track Build — Acme Steel Siding

Estimate: v1 — Initial scopeEstimator: R. MogaziUpdated: 2026-05-04

How This Estimate is Built

An estimate is built from cost codes drawn from the central library. The estimate is always organized by Division (the AREMA-aligned sections below) — that structure never changes. Three ways to add work:

1. Add Line Item

Pulls one priced row directly. Best for single charges (flagging days) or aggregate codes (a whole turnout as a single lump-sum line — see Section 07 below). No assembly tag, no header — it just lives in its section.

2. Add Assembly

Drops a pre-built bundle of line items at once. Each component lands in its natural division (a turnout assembly puts ties under Track Materials, frog under Turnouts, ballast under Ballast). Lines carry an assembly tag for grouping, editing, or removing them together.

3. Add Section

Adds a whole new section to the estimate (e.g. add Bridges if your scope includes bridge work). Sections come from the standard 14 divisions — you only include the ones relevant to the project.

The estimate's structure stays consistent

Whether you add a single line, an assembly, or a whole section — the estimate's top-level structure is always the same 14-division AREMA framework. Assemblies don't create their own "sub-headers" in the estimate. Instead, each assembly-derived line carries metadata (an assembly tag) that powers an optional Group by Assembly view toggle for review.
