AI Sheet Metal Takeoff Software
AI sheet metal takeoff built for the shop.
Accelerate your sheet metal takeoff workflow while capturing all the data you need for accurate material and fabrication estimates. Gauge, seam type, reinforcements, and connection details are all accounted for and piped through your organization's price book.
Confident estimates and quicker cut lists are just a click away.

How Canaveral Solves It
Your current sheet metal estimating process...
Revision reconciliation is manual
When revised drawings land, estimators visually overlay old and new plans to spot changes. Revision clouds are unreliable, so the real process is hours of side-by-side comparison with missed changes surfacing as cost exposure after bid day.
How Canaveral Solves It
Automatic revision comparison
Upload the new drawing set and Canaveral highlights what changed at the object level: added runs, resized ducts, deleted equipment. Edit takeoffs with ease and confidence.

Implicit data gets lost in translation
Takeoff tools draw duct runs without carrying construction type, seam method, pressure class, or reinforcement requirements. Estimators end up in Excel verifying gauge, reinforcement spacing, and connector counts against SMACNA tables.
How Canaveral Solves It
Implicit data included in every step
Every duct run carries its full construction profile: pressure class, seam type, gauge, and reinforcement interval. Fittings, connectors, and hardware resolve automatically, ready for instant reporting.

Pricing lives in a separate workflow
Takeoff produces quantities in one tool; pricing lives in another. The estimator exports, imports, and manually reconciles mismatches in unit of measure, part identity, and selling units every time something changes.
How Canaveral Solves It
Live-linked material pricing
Every takeoff object resolves directly to your price book. Change a duct size and the price updates instantly with no export/import cycle and no re-pricing after revisions.

Weight-based costing is a parallel path
Gauge and dimensions determine pounds per linear foot, which drives both material cost and shop labor. Takeoff tools produce linear and square feet, so estimators run a separate weight table calculation in a spreadsheet referencing SMACNA gauge tables and yield factors.
How Canaveral Solves It
Automatic weight and fabrication costing
Canaveral converts every duct segment and fitting to pounds using built-in SMACNA gauge tables and yield factors. Material cost (price per pound) and shop labor (hours per pound or per piece) are calculated inline.
And much, much more. See more features
AI-native doesn't have to be detail-poor.
Other AI takeoff products provide a flashy demo with rough linear footage guestimates. You can't send that to the fab shop.
Canaveral prices sheet metal the way your shop actually makes it: by gauge, by weight, coil vs. flat sheet, rectangular vs. spiral round. QuickDraw reads duct dimensions directly from the plans—hold Q to see suggested sizes and assign them with a click.
Generate cut lists, material weights by gauge, fitting schedules, and hanger counts formatted for your shop with custom document generation.
AI speeds you up, & the data layer keeps your bid honest. With Canaveral, you don't need to sacrifice quality for speed.
