Keep plan measurements organised by room, trade, or scope

Split the takeoff by trade or stage so each price from your subbies checks against its own layer.

Keep demolition, new work and finishes on separate layers of the same plan.

Put each elevation on its own layer so brick areas are easy to check.

Keep walls, ceilings and trims on separate layers to price each one.

Separate supply, return and equipment so each part of the system is checked on its own.

Group beams, columns and bracing by member type on their own layers.

Put turf, paving and garden beds on their own layers so the quote reads clearly.

Put each floor product on its own layer so carpet and timber totals stay apart.
