AI Sheet Metal Takeoff Software
AI sheet metal takeoff built for the shop.
Generate accurate sheet metal quantities, weights, and fabrication lists directly from the plans. Canaveral's AI handles gauge selection, SMACNA compliance, and fitting counts so your estimates match what the shop actually builds.
The Sheet Metal Takeoff Challenge
Weight and gauge calculations
Calculating accurate pounds of galvanized, stainless, or aluminum across different gauges and duct sizes is tedious. Errors in weight calculations directly impact material cost accuracy.
SMACNA compliance tracking
Reinforcement, hangers, connection standards, and gauge requirements all depend on duct size and pressure class. Manually cross-referencing tables slows down every estimate.
Fitting fabrication quantities
Elbows, transitions, offsets, taps, and end caps each require specific material calculations. Counting and sizing fittings manually across large projects is where most errors creep in.
Shop-ready reporting
Your fabrication shop needs cut lists, material weights, and fitting schedules in a specific format. Reformatting takeoff data for the shop adds hours to every project.
How Canaveral Solves Sheet Metal Takeoff
Built-in SMACNA weight tables
Accurate material weights calculated automatically based on duct size, gauge, material type, and pressure class. No more manual table lookups—weights are computed as you take off.
Automatic fitting insertion and sizing
Elbows, transitions, reducers, and taps are placed automatically as you trace duct runs. Each fitting carries its own weight and material data for accurate fabrication totals.
QuickDraw dimension reading
AI reads duct dimensions directly from the plans. Hold Q to see suggested sizes and assign them with a click. Works with rectangular, round, and oval duct sections.
Fabrication-ready exports
Generate reports formatted for your shop—cut lists, material weights by gauge, fitting schedules, and hanger counts. Export to Excel, PDF, or CSV with saved templates for one-click reporting.
