Commercial Estimator uses occupancy codes to uniquely identify each occupancy. Enter or select an occupancy in either of the following ways:
Occupancy Search: Use the Occupancy Search section in the middle of the screen to select an occupancy. The occupancy code and name automatically display on this line.
Direct Entry: Type the occupancy code in this field. The occupancy name displays to the right of the code.
If the occupancy code field already contains a code, you can use either of these methods to select or enter a different occupancy. However, if the construction class selected for the old occupancy is not available for the new occupancy, Commercial Estimator automatically changes the class to the first class available for the new occupancy.
