SCALE
A good scale is essential. During build we get estimates for system weight, weigh the actual hardware for subsystems before installation, track projected vs actual weight continuosly, and then weigh the final product.
Typically our estimated weight is 0.5-1 lb off the actual weight. It really is hard to estimate the wires, as they are cut to length on installation and once installed we don't want to take them out.
The easiest way to reduce weight is to keep it off in the first place.
