Hello all!
Recently, I jumped careers from Mechanical Design to Estimation and Take-off (more specifically, HVAC estimation). While I have come to enjoy it, Estimation itself is pretty Civil Engineering centric. So, accessing the right information has been a pain!
Currently, my job revolves around taking off HVAC outlets (grilles, registers, etc.), but I want to expand beyond this. Any pointers on how I could go about this would be appreciated.
Thanks!
