Can I copy paste building groups?

Okay so in one corner of my base I´ve made a block of several manufacturing plants, inserters, power lines and belts, it was pretty compact as such. The point was to make a blue science bottle. I needed quite a few buildings for that. I planned it such that it was all on one side of my major resource belt. Then I mirrored the design of that whole block and made all those buildings, power lines and inserters again on the other side of the major resource belt.
Now it is a lot of tinkering around to place all those buildings, power lines and inserters and I thought to my self: now I´m making two blue bottles at the same time, but I have building groups that make many more red and green bottles at the same time already and I have a lot of excess red and green bottles as well as that Im swimming in purple bottles.
I am limited by my blue bottle production and I want to make much more of them but it is so exhausting to set up all those buildings... I wish I could just copy and paste the groups of buildings I now have and quickly set up duplicate blue bottle production building groups now that I have it all planned... provided I have the resources of course...
is this possible in some way?
