Options (usually nothing to change here)

Round quantities up to the next whole number Combine takeoffs with the same name across plan sheets into one line Write the source plan sheets into each line's description Cost group for everything that isn't an alternate

Units

STACK's units are converted to Premium Painting's JobTread units automatically. Only change one if it's flagged above.

3Download and import

The download unlocks once a STACK export is loaded.

In JobTread, open the job's Budget tab, choose Import, and select the downloaded file. Check that Cost Group, Cost Item Name, Quantity, Unit, Unit Price Formula and Cost Type are mapped.
Each takeoff comes in twice: a "- Labor" line inside the Labor group and a "- Materials" line inside the Materials group. Type the labor rate into Unit Cost on the Labor line and the material rate into Unit Cost on the Materials line. Then check the budget's quantities against the totals in step 2.
Need an extra line? Add it with + Cost Item inside the Labor or Materials group, set its Cost Type to match the group, and type the Unit Cost.
