Working with BOM's

The success of a project is partly determined by controlling material costs. The e-Office BOM Manager will help you construct and manipulate required lists of materials - BOM's.

A BOM is constructed using the powerful e-Office search engine to retrieve parts from any of the available databases. HPH has gone to extraordinary lengths to build flexible search processes/options and define the data in a manner that will produce the most reliable queries in the trades.

Once a BOM has been created you have many options to modify the BOM. The BOM Manager will also provide valuable information to you when making critical business decisions.

Common BOM's & Assemblies

Many Plumbing/Mechanical projects require the same or similar parts. For example, a residential rough-in may require runs of 1/2", 3/4", and 1" Copper and 1-1/2", 3", and 4" PVC-DWV. Instead of re-constructing a BOM for each run for every job, create one master BOM for each run and then simply modify and save it to the desired project.

The same can be done for assemblies such as toilet, water heater, and boiler installations.

These assemblies will always be kept current with the latest prices as e-Office will automatically update them unless they are locked.
