Short codes for similar system types

At NBS recently, we’ve been doing quite a few webinars. One of the most frequently asked questions has been about how practices are using codes to group similar types of systems together.

For example, if your project has 5 of 6 different floor covering systems, then giving each of these a code such as FCS001, FCS002, FCS003 etc… so these codes can be used in planning sheets, annotations, schedules etc…

Examples of this are shown below…

So to get further feedback, I posted a request within our NBS Chorus ideas forum.
