Bill of Materials (BOM)

The Bill of Materials page rolls up every device across every floor plan in your project into a single table. It auto-populates from the devices you've placed in the editor. You never manually count icons or type model names into a spreadsheet.

To open it, go to your project page and click Bill of Materials in the sidebar.

The BOM shows:

• Device type: Dome camera, Card reader, Horn-strobe, etc.
• Count: how many of each device are placed across all floor plans in the project.
• Unit cost: the material cost per device (you set this).
• Labor hours: estimated install time per device (you set this).
• Extended cost: count × unit cost, calculated automatically.
• Total labor: count × labor hours.

When you first open the BOM, unit costs and labor hours default to your company-wide settings (set at Business → BOM Defaults in the dashboard). You can override any value per project:

1. Click the unit cost or labor hours cell for a device type.
2. Type the new value.
3. The change saves automatically and recalculates all totals.

Edits on the BOM page are bulk: changing the unit cost for "Dome camera" updates every dome camera in the project at once.

At the top of the BOM page, you'll see chips showing your hourly labor rate, margin percentage, tax rate, and permit fees. These come from your business profile and can be overridden per project:

• Hourly rate: multiplied by total labor hours to get labor cost.
• Margin: percentage markup on materials + labor. Click the margin chip to set a project-specific override.
• Tax rate: applied to materials (set in your business profile).
• Permit fees: flat fee added to the total (set in your business profile).

Click Company defaults to edit your baseline rates that apply to all new projects.

Devices auto-populate from the floor plan, but you can also add manual line items for things that aren't icons on a plan: wire, conduit, connectors, labor-only items, and subcontractor fees. Add them directly on the BOM table and they'll be included in the totals.

Below the main BOM table, you'll see a NAC Loops section if your project has fire alarm notification appliance circuits. This lists each loop you've drawn in the editor, the devices on it, and the wire length between them, which is useful for estimating wire runs on fire alarm jobs.

The BOM page is owner-only. Invited editors cannot access it, even if they type the URL directly. This is intentional: your cost data, margin, and labor rates are internal. The device matrix (which shows device details without pricing) is available to all team members.
