Systems

Systems provide a higher-level structure for organizing modules and cost logic.

They help answer questions like:

• what part of the building does this belong to
• how should related modules be grouped
• how should cost be summarized at a meaningful level

Why Systems Matter

Systems make Darwin easier to navigate, review, and analyze across projects and eventually across cost control dashboards.

Best Practices

• use systems consistently across related modules
• keep system definitions understandable by both estimators and reviewers
• use systems as part of a reporting and variance structure, not only as labels
