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.
