Improve RG as the concept of Crew

Currently Pro has some advanced features for resource loading, resource usage spreadsheet, etc. To take it to the next level, it would be a good idea to implement RG in a similar as Resources. A thought would be to use RG as a Crew.

A crew is a collection of different types equipment and labor, which is utilized and assigned to a task. Similar to how Resources can be assigned to a task, RG/ Crew can be assigned to a task as well.

Attaching an example from RSMeans for some standard Crews in the US. We probably also need contributions from users in the UK as well.


Currently the main issue is that even though a RG can be consisted of multiple types of laborers and equipment, RG assignments to Tasks don’t necessary allow for units.

In the following example, Task 3 has a RG consisted of Resources assigned, and Task 4 only has R assigned. Resource Usage spreadsheet only can plot the units for R assignments on Task 4, but not the RG (R assignments) on Task 3.

I wonder if this can be improved so the RG usage is can be expanded to what’s beyond the original intent which is for visual growth simulation.
