ICMS attributes

Attributes are used for searching, benchmarking and identifying suitable projects for comparison by surveyors. Each project contains information about its location, the date of report, the currency stated, and where available, projects include start and end dates along with the type of cost data collected (for example, "At tender", or "Costs on completion"). In addition, project attributes are defined on a project type basis.
