BUILT FOR HVAC ESTIMATORS

Everything you need to build a better HVAC bid.

PlanSwift connects your ductwork, equipment, and fitting quantities to the pricing logic you set up. No separate spreadsheet to reconcile.

AI-Assisted Takeoff

Get a faster starting point using AI-powered tools repetitive plan work. Then verify the quantities before they shape the price.

Assembly-Based Estimating

Tie measured work to the materials, labor, and installation assumptions behind each system.

Custom Formulas

Adjust labor rates, material prices, waste, and job conditions without rebuilding the takeoff.

Reusable Templates

Start with the setups your team already trusts, so each estimate follows a familiar path.

Plan Comparison

Compare drawing sets to catch changed runs, equipment, and scope before they affect the number.

Live Excel Integration

Move organized quantities into the Excel pricing sheets your team already uses, so updates stay connected as the estimate changes.

Auto Count

Pick one symbol; PlanSwift finds and counts every match across up to 10 pages at once.

Takeoff & ESTIMATING

Mechanical HVAC Estimating in a Snap

Quickly trace linear takeoff for A/C line sets.
Generate precise material lists for any HVAC assembly and instantly calculate cost.
Instantly derive volume of rooms for heating and cooling.
Do faster takeoffs that are mistake free!

HVAC Estimating Made Faster and Easier!

How much duct work do you need? How long is that run for the A/C refrigerant line set? What is the volume of the rooms you’re trying to heat and cool? PlanSwift, the #1 takeoff and estimating software for the construction industry, is the shortcut to all those answers.

PlanSwift uses the digital plans to generate precise material lists for your estimates. Quickly calculate lengths, areas and volumes and apply assemblies to generate a customizable bill of materials. You can isolate plan areas and create individual counts for ducts, pumps, switches, controls or any other element.

In short, the shortcut to a better bottom line begins with PlanSwift. To learn more about PlanSwift, download a free 14-day trial. Download PlanSwift now and let us show you how PlanSwift can meet your specific needs.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is HVAC takeoff and estimating software?

HVAC takeoff and estimating software helps contractors measure mechanical work from digital plans and turn those quantities into a priced bid. PlanSwift combines takeoff and estimating in one platform, so HVAC contractors can measure ductwork, piping, equipment, and other scope. They can connect those quantities to assemblies, formulas, material, labor, waste, and costs. Takeoff BOOST is a suite of AI tools built into PlanSwift that can help speed up supported first-pass takeoff work. Estimators review and adjust the quantities before finalizing the bid.

Can PlanSwift support HVAC installation takeoff and estimating?

Yes. PlanSwift can support HVAC installation takeoff and estimating when your team needs a flexible, configurable workflow for 2D plans. The PlanSwift General Contractor Starter Pack includes Division 23 HVAC assemblies. Contractors can customize assemblies and formulas for their own materials, labor, and pricing.

How does PlanSwift help HVAC contractors measure and price jobs?

PlanSwift gives HVAC estimators one workflow for measuring and pricing a job. You can use linear and segment takeoff for ductwork and piping, count selected equipment or plan symbols, and organize quantities by system, floor, zone, size, or other scope category. Connect those quantities to custom assemblies and formulas for material, labor, waste, and cost calculations. Your estimator still reviews the plans and project requirements before approving the estimate.

What does Takeoff BOOST do for HVAC takeoffs in PlanSwift?

Takeoff BOOST is a suite of AI tools built into PlanSwift:

Auto Takeoff creates a preliminary page takeoff with supported area, linear, and count measurements.

Auto Count finds matching symbols or objects across selected pages after you choose what to count.

Auto Scale detects and applies page scale across selected pages.

Auto Bookmark helps create bookmarks and links to related plan pages, details, schedules, sections, and other views.

These tools can reduce repetitive measuring, counting, scale setup, and plan navigation. HVAC estimators can review and refine the AI-assisted results in PlanSwift before connecting quantities to assemblies and formulas. The results are a starting point, not a finished bid.

How do HVAC contractors build and update estimates in PlanSwift?

PlanSwift lets HVAC contractors connect measured quantities to custom assemblies and formulas for project-specific calculations. Your team can set up estimating logic for ductwork, piping, equipment, labor, waste, and other cost assumptions. When quantities or pricing change, you can update the takeoff or estimating setup and review revised costs in the same project. PlanSwift also supports printing and exporting estimates, including Excel reports.
