  • usually refers to mobility features.

Hotel

[!info] Also Known As

• Guestrooms
• Keys

[!trivia] The term "key" as a synonym of "hotel room" is a synecdoche, referring to the unit's door key. In the pre-digital days of hotel management, one could count the rooms of a hotel by the keys behind the front desk.

Residential

[!info] Also Known As

• Condos - resident-owned
• Apartments - resident-rented

Sequence

1. Estimate preparation

1. Locate Unit panels and relevant keynotes

   • bus amps

2. Read about the project specifications and construction type

• partition framing (wood or metal studs)
• stud depth
• wiring methods (NM or MC)
• wiring device plates (decora or standard)
• wiring device specs (are 15A devices allowed or minimum N5-20R)
• equipment (20A Kitchen and bath)

1. Fill out OneNote

2. Takeoff

[!tip] Preparing for Unit Takeoff Units generally have very little variation. It is usually best to copy-paste takeoffs rather than re-build them for each unit.

1. Kitchen and Bath
2. General assemblies
3. Low Voltage
4. Lighting Fixtures
5. Lighting Control

Tip

It may be more efficient and neat to not copy switches, instead keeping the switch assembly list open and creating them new for each unit, since the types required can vary greatly between units.
