In the residential file the residential units field has been added back. This was in the Marshall & Swift version of LandMark but was taken out in the NBC version. This can be tracked but will effect multi-family, duplexes, and townhomes (types 2-5). In the case of multifamily the modifier was used to determine the total number of units and in the case of duplex and townhomes the 2 or 3 units and 4 to 9 units cost tables were being used respectively. The residential units will allow to more accurately represent which column of the cost table to use. Please see Software Updates from May 20, 2024 for further explanation and examples.
