The practical details
A clear look at the workflow.
Organize the job into sections
If the general contractor wants separate amounts for lighting and branch power, create one section for each. Each takeoff section becomes a line in the proposal editor, where you can review its amount before preparing the customer copy.

Build each section’s takeoff
Review the plans yourself and enter the quantities that define the electrical scope.

Work with products, assemblies, and labor units
Use products and assemblies for the materials your company supplies and their associated labor. If the owner supplies the light fixtures and your crew installs them, enter a labor-only item for fixture installation. Carry any boxes or fittings your company supplies as separate products and review their labor units.
