Sites can estimate an “engineered” RPV for building and OSFs and enter the RPV in FIMS by electronic exporting or manual entry. The CostWorks Markup feature in the Estimator tool can be modified to include a new subtotal field and site factor markup to estimate this cost. Users must know the Site Factor multiplier to estimate the RPV. The CostWorks Settings screen Location option allows the user to select the regional adjuster by zip code or city. The database automatically modifies the national average cost to reflect local factors.
