Creating an Assembly

Creating an Assembly from scratch is straightforward, and there are tools to help you along the way. You can choose materials from the built-in Materials Library, or create your own with custom unit costs. If you're building a drywall Assembly, Togal.AI will suggest common components and calculation formulas to get you started. These can all be edited to fit your needs.

How to Create anAssembly

1. Go to the Library
   Open the Library from the top right of the screen.

2. • Open the Assembly Tab
     Inside the Library, you’ll find a new tab called Assembly

3. Click “Create New Assembly”
   You’ll be asked to enter details about the Assembly, including:

   • Whether it applies to an area, linear measurement, or count

   • The trade it belongs to

   These settings help keep your Assemblies organised and easier to use in takeoffs.

4. Add Components and Properties
   If you selected drywall, Togal will suggest a typical list of components used in wall assemblies.

   • Each component has properties you can edit, such as material type, unit cost, and waste factor

   • You can also add custom properties as needed

5. Edit Calculation Formulas
   Togal suggests formulas to help you calculate how much of each material you’ll need based on the quantity.

   • You can use or modify these formulas, just like in our Custom Formulas feature

   • Formulas can reference both standard and custom properties

6. Save Your Assembly
   Once you're done adding components and setting up calculations, click Save. Your custom Assembly will now be available to use in any project.
