AI Test and Balance Estimation Software
AI test and balance estimation from device count to fee.
A TAB proposal is a device count at heart. Diffusers, grilles, registers, terminal boxes, fans, pumps, and air handlers, each one driving man-hours. Canaveral's SymbolSight counts those terminals and equipment off the schedules and plans, then turns the counts into hours using your own labor units.

How Canaveral Helps
Your fee is a device count, and you count by hand
Supply diffusers, return and exhaust grilles, registers, VAV and CAV boxes, fans, pumps, AHUs. Hundreds of terminals across every floor, and you are clicking through PDFs tallying each type.
SymbolSight counts the terminals for you
SymbolSight scans schedules and plans and counts air terminals and equipment automatically. Approve the counts by type instead of marking up sheets one outlet at a time.
Counts drive hours, so a miscount costs you twice
Every diffuser is a few minutes of read and adjust time, every air handler is hours. Undercount the terminals and you underbid the labor. Overcount and you lose the job.
Turn counts into hours automatically
Apply your per-point and per-unit labor in the library. Diffuser counts, box counts, and equipment counts roll straight into man-hours and fee with no separate spreadsheet.
Air, water, and exhaust all balance differently
Supply and return air, hydronic water balance, exhaust, and controls verification each carry their own scope and units. Lumping them together hides where the hours really are.
Separate counts by system and scope
Tag and filter counts by system, floor, and area. Your proposal breaks out air terminals, water terminals, and equipment so the hours line up with how you actually run the job.
Late drawing changes change the count
A revised set adds two floors of diffusers or swaps an air handler, and you have no fast way to catch it before the proposal goes out the door.
Revision comparison keeps counts current
Upload the new set and see exactly which terminals and equipment were added, removed, or changed. Update the count and the hours follow automatically.
And much, much more. See more features
Counts and hours that match the building.
The slow part of a TAB estimate is the count, and the risky part is what the count does to your hours. SymbolSight handles the tallying so you spend your time on scope and rate, not clicking through floor plans.
Build your labor units the way you actually price: minutes per air terminal, hours per box, hours per air handler, separate rates for water balance and controls verification. The counts flow into those units and your fee builds itself.
Report counts and hours by system, floor, and area so the proposal reads the way you run the project. When the set changes, the comparison shows you what moved.
AI speeds you up, & the data layer keeps your proposal honest. With Canaveral, you don't need to sacrifice accuracy for speed.
