Sound familiar?

The schedule is on page 280 of the spec.

A 300-page spec with the schedule at the back. Flattened PDFs that break the auto-count. Twenty addendums on a defence job. Equipment prices land the day before you submit.

What you get back

Three steps. The last one is yours.

  1. 01

    Drop in the tender pack

    Layouts, sections, legends and the spec, straight from the builder’s email. Flattened PDFs are fine. An addendum redoes only what changed.

  2. 02

    Get the counted list

    Units, AHUs, grilles, fans and dampers by tag. Duct by size band with lining apart, flex and refrigerant pipe in metres. Sheet on every line.

  3. 03

    Your estimator decides

    Pipe back to the branch box, demolition, duct cleaning, lift hire and the fabricator’s quote. They answer the flags and sign it off.

FAQ

Questions HVAC businesses ask.

Have you set this up for a business like ours?

Yes. Commercial HVAC businesses run it on live tenders, after blind takeoffs on their own finished jobs. Each was set up around its own rates and template.

Does it read our drawing types?

Yes. Layouts, sections, legends, schedules and the full spec, as PDF. Flattened drawings are read as images. Scale is proved from printed dimensions on each sheet.

Will it use our rates?

Yes. Your hours per metre of duct by size band, hours per fan coil, markup and margin floor, from your own workbook. A missing rate reads MISSING, never zero.

Does it know if the duct is 50 mm insulated?

It reads the insulation or lining called up on the drawings and spec, and lists it as its own line. If they don’t say, it flags an assumption.
