How to read the variation report

1. The checkpoint item is listed first and the estimated item second.
2. For each line item comparison, you will see a ‘+’ to show that the checkpoint item is more expensive, or a ‘–‘ to show that the checkpoint item is less expensive.
3. The price difference.
4. The unit price difference, whether it be material, supplies, equipment, retail labor, or market conditions.
