ASTM E1557 UNIFORMAT II
Elemental Spreadsheet

The ASTM E1557 UNIFORMAT II Elemental Spreadsheet saves time preparing elemental project estimates, and it helps ensure that they're in compliance with the ASTM E1557 standard, UNIFORMAT II.

It's designed to make it easier to implement the UNIFORMAT II standard. It was developed in Microsoft Excel, for Windows XP on a PC. It will work with more recent versions of Excel and with Quattro Pro.

The Spreadsheet is ideal for preliminary budget estimates that can be coordinated with preliminary project descriptions.
