AI Duct Fabrication Estimation Software
AI duct fabrication estimation built for the shop.
A fab shop prices in pounds and builds from cut lists, and both come out of the same takeoff. Canaveral weighs every run and fitting by gauge using SMACNA tables, counts your connectors and hardware, and generates the fab tickets your floor actually works from.

How Canaveral Helps
Pounds by gauge is a separate spreadsheet pass
Coil and sheet price by the pound, and shop labor tracks weight too. Takeoff gives you linear and square feet, so someone runs gauge and yield factors in a spreadsheet to get poundage.
Automatic weight by gauge
Canaveral converts every duct segment and fitting to pounds using built-in SMACNA gauge tables and yield factors. Coil versus flat sheet, rectangular versus spiral round, all weighed inline.
Connectors, seams, and hardware get estimated loosely
TDC and TDF, slip and drive, gasket, sealant, hangers. These drive real material and labor, and a rough allowance per job leaves money on the table or buys you a loss.
Connectors and hardware resolved per piece
Connection type, seam, and hardware resolve automatically off each run and fitting. Counts come out by piece so the shop is buying and building to a real number.
The shop floor needs a cut list, not a bid summary
Estimation output and shop output are two different documents. Turning a takeoff into cut lists and fab tickets usually means rekeying sizes and quantities by hand.
Cut lists and fab tickets from the same takeoff
Generate cut lists, fitting schedules, and fab tickets formatted for your shop with custom document generation. What you took off is what hits the floor.
Gauge gets decided by hand off the pressure class
Pressure class and dimension set the gauge and reinforcement per SMACNA. Looking that up run by run is slow and inconsistent across estimators.
Construction profile carried on every run
Pressure class, gauge, seam, and reinforcement interval ride with each duct run. The shop sees consistent gauge calls no matter who built the takeoff.

Poundage and cut lists straight from takeoff.
When you fabricate for sheet metal contractors or run your own shop, the bid has to tie back to what the floor actually builds. A rough linear footage number does not cut coil or load a machine.
Canaveral prices duct the way the shop makes it: by gauge, by weight, coil versus flat sheet, rectangular versus spiral round. Material cost runs off price per pound and shop labor off hours per pound or per piece, calculated inline as you take off.
Generate cut lists, fitting schedules, hardware counts, and fab tickets formatted for your shop. The estimate and the production paperwork come from one takeoff.
AI speeds you up, & the data layer keeps your bid honest. With Canaveral, you don't need to sacrifice quality for speed.
