AI-powered estimating for commercial HVAC and mechanical contractors. Automate ductwork takeoffs, calculate load requirements, track equipment pricing, and catch contract problems before they cost you.
Commercial HVAC means hundreds of duct runs across multiple zones — each with different sizes, insulation requirements, and fitting counts. Missing a transition, underestimating hangers, or miscounting flex runs means you're absorbing the cost on a fixed-price deal.
RTUs, chillers, and VRF systems have lead times stretching 16-24 weeks. Prices shift with steel and refrigerant costs. If your bid is based on a quote that expires before award, you're exposed. Real-time equipment pricing and lead time tracking is critical.
Mechanical rough-in conflicts with electrical conduit, plumbing stacks, and fire protection. Every coordination clash means rework, schedule delays, and finger-pointing. Without documenting your install sequence, you'll absorb costs that aren't yours.
ASHRAE 90.1, local energy codes, and commissioning requirements add layers of compliance. Contracts often shift full commissioning liability to the mechanical sub. A failed TAB report or missed energy code requirement can create $20K+ in rework.
Built by people who understand the trade. Every feature solves a real problem mechanical contractors deal with every week.
Upload mechanical plans. Our AI identifies duct runs, calculates linear footage by size, counts fittings and transitions, and flags insulation requirements. Complete takeoff in under an hour instead of two days.
Live pricing on RTUs, split systems, chillers, VRF, and controls. Our AI tracks lead times and flags items that could delay your project. Bid with current equipment costs and realistic delivery schedules.
Document every coordination conflict and scope change with photos, RFI references, and cost impact. When the GC blames you for the rework caused by the plumber's misrouted waste line, you have proof.
Our AI cross-references contract language against ASHRAE requirements, local energy codes, and commissioning specs. Flags clauses that could create commissioning liability before you sign.
Provide mechanical drawings, schedules, and specs. PDF or image files accepted.
Our AI reads duct layouts, counts fittings, identifies equipment, and flags code requirements. Complete takeoff fast.
Combine AI takeoff with live equipment pricing. Submit competitive bids and document coordination through completion.
