STANDARDIZE YOUR COLOR CODING
During take-off, it's a good
idea to highlight systems with their own color code as you take-off the items.
Accordingly, all notes pertaining to those items should also be highlighted with the same
color. An example would be:
| Switchgear and Switchgear Notes |
Blue |
|
|
| Fixtures and Fixture Notes |
Green |
|
|
| Branch and Branch Notes |
Yellow |
|
|
| Devices and Device Notes |
Pink |
|
|
| LV Devices and LV Device Notes |
Purple |
|
|
| Fire Alarm and Fire Alarm Notes |
Orange |
This will make association of
the items taken off and all related notes easy to identify when summarizing your estimate.
