and bid on 2X more jobs, without additional headcount .
Trusted by top HVAC contractors and suppliers
How our AI-based HVAC takeoff software works
Generate takeoffs in 4 simple steps
Upload HVAC plans in PDF format
Drop your mechanical drawings, specs, and legends, including duct layout sheets, flex duct schematics, and HVAC takeoff PDFs.
Confirm scope of work for your materials takeoff
The scope will already include materials needed for your supplied trade. Just check to confirm. If the contractor has unusual packaging, quantity breakdowns, or preferences, list them under “Project-Specific Deviations.”
AI does the HVAC quantity takeoff for you
Beam AI extracts quantities from your HVAC takeoff sheet across ductwork, piping, fittings, and more.
Get reviewed ductwork takeoffs
Every HVAC duct takeoff once processed by AI is checked by our Quality Assurance team and delivered within 24-36 hours. Besides a PDF & view-only link, you’ll get an HVAC duct quantity takeoff Excel-ready file for quickly prepping estimates.
What's slowing HVAC estimators down?
Manual air duct takeoffs stall estimates, proposals, and wins.
Not enough time to bid on more projects
Manual HVAC takeoffs, like air duct takeoff, flex duct takeoff, pipes and fittings, or ductwork takeoff, can eat up days. That limits your ability to chase multiple bids or respond to urgent RFPs.
Too much grunt work, too little strategy
Manual HVAC takeoffs, like air duct takeoff, flex duct takeoff, pipes and fittings, or ductwork takeoff, can eat up days. That limits your ability to chase multiple bids or respond to urgent RFPs.
Future-ready AI-based takeoff software for HVAC contractors
Regain 15-20 hours per week while doubling your bid volume
Save 90% of your time on HVAC takeoffs
Let Beam AI extract all quantities automatically, HVAC components like air handlers, flex duct, piping, and more, with zero manual tracing. Our AI auto-reads all specs and keyed-in notes to do the takeoff just like an estimator would.
Bid 2x more jobs without growing your team
With Beam AI doing the heavy lifting, you can double your bid capacity while unlocking the bandwidth to pursue more work. Redirect your focus to raising RFIs, responding to RFQs, value engineering, pricing, strategy, and other high-impact work.

What is a takeoff in HVAC?
An HVAC takeoff is the process of identifying and measuring HVAC components (like ductwork, piping, air handlers, etc) from construction drawings to calculate material quantities.
How does HVAC takeoff software work?
HVAC takeoff software like Beam AI automates this process. AI takes off quantities and a QA team reviews it before the output reaches you, eliminating the need to trace or calculate quantities manually. Just upload your plans.
Can I use this for ductwork takeoff?
Yes, Beam AI supports HVAC duct takeoff including flex ducts, fittings, elbows, and more.
What format are the takeoff results in?
Export your HVAC duct quantity takeoff in custom Excel formats to quickly build estimates, generate branded PDFs for presentations, or share with stakeholders via a simple view-only link.
How does AI-based HVAC takeoff software handle addenda and revisions?
Beam AI HVAC takeoff software auto-detects quantity changes across addenda, no need to re-do ductwork takeoffs manually. You get a side-by-side Addendum Variance Report comparing versions with quantity changes, new or removed items, and sheet-level highlights.
How does pricing work for AI-based HVAC takeoff software?
Beam AI follows an annual subscription model, with no per-sheet or per-use pricing. Whether you’re doing flex duct takeoffs or generating HVAC duct quantity takeoff Excel exports, everything is covered. Check out the pricing page for full details.
