Detailed HVAC, ductwork and mechanical piping estimates, with equipment, labor units and material costs organized the way mechanical contractors bid.
Mechanical work is priced in pounds of sheet metal, feet of pipe and hours of labor, not square feet of floor area. That makes generic cost-per-square-foot numbers almost useless for a mechanical bid. Our mechanical estimating services measure each duct run, fitting, pipe segment and piece of equipment so contractors can price their real scope.
We read mechanical plans, equipment schedules, control diagrams and specifications together. Ductwork is broken down by size, gauge and shape, while piping is grouped by system, material and diameter. Equipment is listed straight from the schedules with installation labor added.
The result is an estimate your project manager can also use for purchasing, shop drawing planning and crew scheduling once the job is won.
Complete HVAC and piping systems, from the roof to the terminal units.
Rectangular, round and spiral duct by size and gauge, with fittings and supports.
Diffusers, grilles, registers, dampers and flexible connections.
Rooftop units, air handlers, split systems, heat pumps, fans and terminal units.
Chilled water, heating water and condenser water piping with valves and specialties.
Refrigerant lines, condensate drains and related insulation.
Control devices, testing, adjusting and balancing allowances.
Organized by system so you can compare with supplier and labor pricing.
Mechanical plans, schedules and specs are reviewed system by system.
Runs, fittings and accessories are measured by size and material.
Every scheduled unit is counted with setting and connection labor.
Labor units and current material costs produce a priced summary.
HVAC and mechanical subcontractors use our estimates to keep up with bid invitations without hiring another estimator. Sheet metal shops use our duct quantities to plan fabrication, and general contractors use them to check the mechanical portion of a bid.
We estimate new buildings, replacement projects and tenant improvements where existing systems are modified or extended.
We check these items on every mechanical estimate because they are easy to overlook.
Elbows, transitions and takeoffs can add a large share of duct weight.
Hangers, seismic bracing and equipment supports are often left out.
External wrap and internal liner are specified differently by system.
Curbs, roof penetrations and crane lifts for rooftop equipment add cost.
Low-voltage controls can fall between mechanical and electrical scopes.
Final balancing and commissioning support are frequently underpriced.
Estimators who understand ductwork fabrication and pipe installation.
Quantities that support purchasing and fabrication, not just bidding.
Price HVAC only, piping only or the full mechanical package.
What HVAC and mechanical contractors ask most.
Yes. Ductwork can be reported by pounds, by linear feet and size, or both.
Yes. We include demolition, equipment replacement and connections to existing systems where shown.
Mechanical estimates cover HVAC and process piping. Plumbing can be added through our MEP estimating service.
Yes, for budgeting. Full duct and pipe takeoffs need floor plans showing the routing.
Share the mechanical set and equipment list, and we will scope the HVAC work before your bid goes out.
