Estimate creation
Use the level of detail the work deserves.
Some work can be priced from quantity and unit cost. Other work requires a crew, production rate and detailed resource build-up. CostCore is designed to support both.

Historical intelligence
Don't just remember the rate. Remember the basis.
A prior unit price is more useful when the estimator can see quantity, resource assumptions, production and actual performance behind it.
After award
The estimate should keep working after the bid is won.
