SL
SL - Decoiled Straight
SL - Machine Cut Straight
SL - Fittings

All the SL have the same Cost $/(sq Ft), but each has a different F time (min)/(Sq Ft)

After a job is completely taken off (using the "generic" SL, we run a script that applies the correct SL to an item...
This will then apply the correct SL to the item...

Works like a charm...

Do you do anything for piping insulation?

Dave M:
Unless I have missed the point of this thread, why aren't you using value sets & assigning tables for the additional labour times for each value set?
Each value set could then have it's own custom rule which references the insulation thickness & even if its double wall.

Few reasons....

1) In the US, SMACNA Labor for liner is SQ FT/Hr.  Options in the Value tables are only Hrs/Mins/Secs or Weight per Hr/Min/Sec. It doesn't give you the option of Area per Hr/Min/Sec.

2) Using the Value sets in the Labor Tables, the labor gets added to the same labor as the metal and wraps them up together. You can't easily separate the labor. Look in the Cost Breakdown and you'll see.

3) Using the Value sets bases the rates on the area of the metal developments, not the area of the insulation developments.  Insulation area is is < than the metal in the real world.
