From Project Planning & Scheduling Using Primavera Contractor Version 4.1: For the Construction Industry
Overview
There are three types of resources, Labor, Nonlabor and Material, and as discussed in the previous chapter, a Labor Resource has additional functionality including Overtime, Resource Calendars and user-defined Autocost rules. The Labor and Nonlabor resources are similar to the Microsoft Project Work Resources. A Material resource is similar to Microsoft Project Material Resources.
