Creating frequently used pre-fabricated takeoffs for piping, plumbing, or sheet metal can save time and improve productivity in the shop and field. Not only can all field forepersons create and clone a frequently used takeoff, but shop managers can also create sets of standardized takeoffs they can share with all personnel. Managers can preset and lock all the standard dimensions while leaving some dimensions changeable by the field. Pre-fab components are faster and easier to order and much more efficient to produce in the shop. For more information on creating pre-fab takeoffs, contact [email protected]. ■
