AI Ductwork Takeoff Software
AI-accelerated ductwork takeoff, without sacrificing quality.
In Canaveral, the sheet is the interface. AI features enhance your estimating workflow: QuickDraw reads dimensions, SymbolSight locates equipment, and Cooper surfaces insights and answers using natural language.
While AI is a useful tool for speeding up your estimates, it would be useless without a solid data-rich foundation underneath it. Canaveral calculates everything you need for accurate ductwork estimates: weight, lengths, hangers, joints, inslulation, reinforcements, and more.

Tedious manual measurement
Tracing ductwork runs across dozens of sheets, manually reading dimensions, and typing them into spreadsheets is slow and error-prone. One missed transition can throw off an entire bid.

AI-powered dimension reading
Hold Q to reveal AI-suggested ductwork dimensions read directly from the plans. Assign sizes with a single click instead of typing 24x12 over and over. Works with rectangular, round, and oval ductwork.

Fitting counts that never add up
Elbows, tees, reducers, offsets—manually counting fittings across complex ductwork systems leads to missed items, rework, and margin erosion on every project.
How Canaveral Solves Ductwork Takeoff
Automatic fitting insertion
Fittings are placed automatically as you trace ductwork runs. Elbows, tees, reducers, transitions, and offsets are inserted based on geometry and angle changes—every fitting accounted for, every time.

Weight and material calculations
Calculating accurate sheet metal weights for galvanized, stainless, and aluminum ductwork across different gauges is tedious and error-prone.

SMACNA-compliant weight tables
Built-in SMACNA standards handle ductwork construction, hangers, reinforcement, and connection types. Material weights are calculated automatically based on gauge, material, and dimensions—no spreadsheet lookups required.

Outdated software slowing you down
Legacy takeoff tools were built for a pre-AI world. Clunky interfaces, slow rendering, and no intelligent assistance mean you’re working harder than you need to.

AI-native doesn't have to be detail-poor.
Other AI takeoff products provide a flashy demo, innacurate bounding boxes, and rough linear footage guestimates. You can't bid a job on that.
Canaveral prices materials the way your shop actually makes them: by gauge, by weight, coil vs. flat sheet, rectangular vs. spiral round. Labor rates account for the factors that actually move your costs: building height, system complexity, crew size, and site conditions.
When it's time to submit, build reports that match how your GC or owner wants to see the numbers. Completely customizable. Show as much or as little detail as the audience needs.
AI speeds you up, & the data layer keeps your bid honest. With Canaveral, you don't need to sacrifice quality for speed.

Frequently asked questions
What is AI ductwork takeoff software?
AI ductwork takeoff software uses computer vision and machine learning to automate the measurement of ductwork quantities from construction drawings. Instead of manually reading dimensions and counting fittings, AI reads duct sizes from plan PDFs and inserts fittings automatically — reducing takeoff time while improving accuracy.
How does AI duct takeoff work?
In Canaveral, QuickDraw reads ductwork dimensions directly from your plan PDFs with a single click. As you trace duct runs, fittings are inserted automatically based on geometry: elbows at angle changes, tees at branches, reducers at size transitions. SymbolSight reads equipment schedules and locates terminal devices on plan sheets.
Does the AI ductwork takeoff support rectangular, round, and oval duct?
Yes. Canaveral supports rectangular, round, and oval ductwork. All shapes include automatic fitting insertion, SMACNA-compliant weight calculations, insulation tracking, hanger counts, and full connection to the parts database and labor rates engine.
How are fittings counted in AI ductwork takeoff?
Fittings are inserted automatically as you trace ductwork runs. The software detects angle changes and places elbows, identifies branch connections and places tees or wyes, and inserts reducers at size changes — no manual counting required.
Does the software handle SMACNA calculations?
Yes. Canaveral has SMACNA standards built in for ductwork construction: weight tables by gauge and material, hanger spacing, reinforcement requirements, and connection types by pressure class. Material weights for galvanized, stainless, and aluminum ductwork are calculated automatically — no spreadsheet lookups needed.
