# Unit Takeoff

> [!important]
|
|
> Complete [[pre-takeoff-research]],
|
|

## 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.
