Allow folders to be copied to multiple locations WITH PERMISSIONS

When duplicating folders within an existing folder structure it can take hours to manually re-create permissions for each folder individually. It would save a great deal of time if a folder could be copied to multiple locations with their permissions.
EXAMPLE: In each project we have 10 subcontractor folders, each with x4 subfolders. These folders have complex permissions setup on them.
If we have a project that has 15 subcontractors working on it we have to manually create the additional 25 (x5 main folders each with x4 subfolders) folders and set 25 lots of permissions. This can take half a day.
