HVAC Estimating Software
HVAC estimating software that goes from plans to bid.
Takeoff, material pricing, labor rates, and bid reports in one platform. Canaveral's AI suggests dimensions, detects scheduled equipment, and speeds up repetitive work — and everything downstream (parts, pricing, labor) resolves automatically. No spreadsheets to stitch together.
Why HVAC Estimating Takes So Long
Takeoff and pricing live in different tools
Measure in one app, price in a spreadsheet, look up labor somewhere else. Every handoff between tools is manual re-entry — and another place for errors to creep into the bid.
Reading dimensions eats the schedule
Duct sizes, pipe runs, and equipment schedules spread across hundreds of sheets. Hours of reading and counting before the actual estimating can even start.
Labor is a gut call, not a system
You know your crews and your job conditions, but that knowledge lives in your head. Bid-to-bid inconsistency either leaves money on the table or costs you the job.
Every bid starts from scratch
No reusable parts catalog, no saved labor rates, no report templates. Each project means rebuilding the same logic you used last month.
How Canaveral Handles HVAC Estimating
AI-assisted takeoff that feeds the estimate
QuickDraw suggests duct dimensions read from your plans. SymbolSight finds scheduled equipment across every sheet. Fittings insert automatically as you trace runs, and an AI assistant speeds up the repetitive tasks in between. Quantities flow straight into pricing — no export, no re-entry.
Parts database and material price book
Maintain your organization's real parts catalog with identifiers and pricing. Sheet metal prices by gauge and weight with SMACNA-compliant tables, insulation by type and square footage.
Labor rates, crews, and conditions
Define blended crew rates and job condition adjustment factors once. Canaveral applies them consistently on every estimate, so your institutional knowledge becomes a system.
Bid-ready reports
Export to Excel, PDF, or CSV with customizable columns, grouping, and totals. When takeoff is done, the paperwork is done too.
