CMB Automiser
=============

CMB Automiser is a computerised quantity accounting and cost billing application
for use in public works organisations. It allows the user to perform these 
objectives with an intuitive interface and logical work flow. The results are 
presented in fully formatted, cross referenced pdf documents.

The program is organised in three tabs/views - schedule, measurement and bill 
views. Schedule view implements an interface to input the agreement 
schedule/import the schedule from a .xlsx file. Measurement view allows 
input/manipulation of details of CMBs and includes a number of convenient 
measurement item patterns. The Bill view module allows billing of selected 
measurement items and implements part rates, excess rates for deviated items, 
custom previous bill support etc.

Both CMBs and Bills can be rendered into a pdf /.xlsx document from the 
respective modules. In addition Bill view also allows the generation of the 
deviation statement as a .xlsx file.
