AI Mechanical Estimation Software

The AI-accelerated, data-first mechanical estimation platform.

Canaveral accelerates the mechanical estimation workflow for ductwork, piping and HVAC equipment. AI computer vision models find equipment and dimensions for faster takeoff. Cooper, your mechanical estimation AI agent, answers questions and performs actions using natural language. Robust data capture and reporting layers ensure you can move fast without sacrificing quality.

How Canaveral Solves It

Multi-tool complexity

Mechanical contractors spread work between different tools. Takeoff, pricing, and labor require new software licenses. No single source of truth.

One tool. One license. One source of truth.

Estimate ducts and pipes in the same tool, under the same project. Takeoff, parts databases, labor calculations, and report generation all under the same roof.

Slow, manual processes

Reading dimensions, counting fittings, tabulating equipment...traditional processes consume valuable time before the bid is ready. Every hour spent on takeoff is an hour not spent winning new work.

AI-accelerated estimation

Quickdraw provides one-click dimensions setting. SymbolSight reads your schedules and finds equipment with automatic takeoff. Cooper ties it all together with insights and actions in natural language.

Software that can’t keep up

Legacy estimation tools weren’t designed for the AI era. They bolt on features to age-old products, leaving you with bloated interfaces and marginal time savings. Updates are slow...support is even slower.

Modern, fast, easy to use software

Access Canaveral from any browser, anywhere. No more remoting in, no more extended downtime, no more clunky interfaces. Updates arrive daily, so you’re always on the cutting edge.

Other AI tools miss the mark

New tools riding the AI wave provide a flashy demo and no data layer that captures the details of a real job you need for an accurate estimate.

An estimation platform, not just an “AI product”

We chose a different approach: build the best manual estimating tool for mechanical estimators, and inject AI workflows where and when you need it.

And much, much more. See more features

AI-native doesn't have to be detail-poor.

Other AI estimation products provide a flashy demo with no data layer. You can't bid a job on that.

Canaveral's parts library resolves every item in your takeoff to your custom identifiers and pricing definitions. Build unique labor definitions with targeted adjustment factors to accurately capture conditions on the field. Canaveral is not just an AI wrapper like the others, it's your company's predictable and customizable bidding engine.

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.
