For Commercial HVAC Contractors
Win more commercial HVAC bids with AI-powered takeoff.
Canaveral is built for commercial mechanical contractors who need to move fast on complex projects. From office buildings to hospitals, our AI-native platform helps you take off rectangular, round, and flat oval ductwork in a fraction of the time.
The Commercial HVAC Estimating Challenge
Tight bid deadlines
Commercial projects come with aggressive timelines. You need to turn around accurate quantity takeoffs fast without sacrificing precision on fittings, transitions, and accessories.
Complex duct systems
Large commercial buildings mean multi-floor systems with VAV boxes, diffusers, dampers, and hundreds of fittings. Manual counting leads to missed items and costly change orders.
Inconsistent material weights
Calculating accurate sheet metal weights for galvanized, stainless, and aluminum ductwork is tedious. Errors compound into material cost miscalculations.
Training new estimators
Getting junior estimators up to speed on commercial projects takes months. They need tools that guide them while still producing professional-quality takeoffs.
How Canaveral Helps
Automatic elbow and fitting insertion
Elbows, tees, reducers, transitions, and offsets are automatically added as you trace duct runs. No more manually counting fittings across 50-page plan sets.
SMACNA-compliant weight tables
Built-in weight calculations per SMACNA Duct Construction Standards. Accurate pounds per linear foot for any gauge, material, and pressure class.
AI-assisted dimension detection
Our QuickDraw feature reads dimensions directly from the plans. Hold Q to see suggested duct sizes and assign them with a single click. No more typing 24x12 over and over.
Custom export templates
Generate takeoff reports formatted for your shop or preferred vendors. Export to Excel, PDF, or CSV with your company branding and pricing.
