Redline Markup on Electrical Plans
Levven takeoffs and redlines:
- Maximize materials savings
- Give field crews plans they can follow to wire and trim homes
- Know what Levven products are needed to complete the installation
- Make potential future servicing easier by keeping controllers accessible
Add Wire Markup on Electrical Plan
Two-conductor wire (2C) is represented by a 1-point dashed line.
Three-conductor wire (3C) is represented by a 3-point dashed line.
Home Runs
The home run is 2C wire directly from the electrical panel to a fixture or controller. Mark it with an "H" on the redline.
Junction Box Labels
Labels for each junction box contain:
- Which kind of junction box to use.
- Which controller is installed in the junction box.
- How many conductors enter and exit the junction box.

Controller Number
The controller number is an easy reference to between the controllers listed in your takeoff spreadsheet and their locations on the redline.
Takeoff
To determine which kit will best suit your project, you must figure out how many switches and controllers are required to complete the electrical installation. This is known as the electrical controls takeoff.
To build a Levven takeoff, count the number of single-pole, 3-way, and 4-way electrical switch legs from your electrical plan. Next, count the number of plate types you will need. This will be your material requirements for this takeoff.
Based on your count, select the most suitable size Levven Quick kit you will need. Kit sizes might not fit the requirements perfectly. You may need to add or remove controllers and/or switches to get the correct number of materials for your project.
