HVAC estimating

Ductwork and equipment, priced with clarity

Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning contractors come to us for estimates that quantify ducts, hangers, elbows and fixtures alongside the condensing and evaporating units that tie a system together. Every estimate is built with detailed line-item descriptions and marked-up plans so the scope is unmistakable at bid time. We work closely with subcontractors, design engineers and fabricators, producing shop drawings that give installers and sheet metal contractors a clear, unambiguous picture of the job ahead.

One subcontractor bidding roughly thirty jobs a month was spending $6,000 on in-house estimating overhead; moving to a monthly HVAC estimating package cut that cost by around 60% while keeping turnaround times just as fast.

Every hvac quantity is measured on screen from your own drawings and specifications, then priced with zip-code based material and labour rates rather than national averages.
