Build a reviewed mechanical takeoff from the drawings, price it with your own cost and sell rates, and carry the same quantities into a clear customer quote.
What the estimate needs to carry
A finished price depends on more than one quantity. Keep the counts, measurements, schedules, notes, and scope gaps visible while the estimate comes together.
MEP piping takeoffs span many materials, schedules, and pressure classes
Coordinating piping, ductwork, plumbing, and controls in tight ceilings
Welded, brazed, grooved, and threaded joints each carry different labor
Long-lead equipment prices swing between bid and buyout
How it works
Move one reviewed scope from the drawing into your pricing and on to a quote your customer can accept.
Start with plan-linked AI suggestions for the counts and measurements in scope.
Accept, dismiss, and correct the work against the source sheets.
Calibrate measured sheets and complete the scope with manual takeoff tools.
Collect every page, add your pricing, and prepare an editable customer quote.
What you leave with
Review plan-linked suggestions for Steel Pipe, Copper, and PVC/CPVC against the source sheets before accepting or dismissing them.
Use calibrated manual counts, lines, polylines, areas, and rectangles to correct plan geometry; separately verify trade inputs such as pipe linear feet, weld/joint count, and equipment count.
Roll reviewed mechanical quantities up by label across loaded pages and disclose incomplete page collection before export.
Export every takeoff row with its source and review state to CSV, or create editable quote lines from accepted AI and manual work. Material conversion, waste, labor, and pricing remain estimator-owned.
Scope behind the price
Use these categories to complete the scope behind the customer-facing total. Confirm plan notes, specifications, alternates, assemblies, waste, and local requirements before turning reviewed quantities into materials or pricing.
