HVAC Takeoff Software That Reads Mechanical, Not Just Ducts
Mechanical scope hides in three places at once: the M-sheets, the equipment schedules, and Division 23 specs. Foreman AI reads all of them. Measure duct and pipe runs on calibrated sheets, count diffusers, grilles, and equipment with click-to-count tools, and ask the AI to reconcile what's drawn against what's scheduled before your number goes out the door.

Takeoff Tools
What a hvac takeoff looks like here.
Linear
Duct runs, refrigerant lines, hydronic piping, and condensate measured in LF at the sheet's real scale.
Count
Diffusers, grilles, VAV boxes, RTUs, exhaust fans — click-counted with named categories and color markers.
Highlights
Box out mechanical rooms and roof plans with notes that flow into estimates.
Cross-check
Ask the AI whether the equipment schedule matches what's drawn, and what Division 23 requires for testing and balancing.
Why Foreman AI
The AI reads the set. You keep control of the number.
Verified, auditable measurements
Quantities live on calibrated sheets as named objects you can see and correct — not black-box totals from a chat window.
Conflicts flagged before they cost you
Cross-discipline analysis surfaces the places the drawings disagree — the stuff that becomes RFIs and change orders.
Quantities straight into pricing
Takeoff objects flow into the budget builder, priced from your cost catalog, company history, AI market estimates, or web pricing.
FAQ
HVAC takeoff questions
Can it take off ductwork from PDF plans?
Yes — calibrate the sheet scale, then measure duct runs in linear feet with click-along tracing. Counts for diffusers, grilles, and equipment are click-to-count with named categories, so the takeoff stays auditable.
Does it read mechanical schedules?
Yes. Equipment schedules, ventilation schedules, and Division 23 specs are all read by the AI, which answers questions with the exact sheet reference so you can verify.
What about plumbing and fire protection on the same set?
Same workflow — the AI reads P-sheets and FP-sheets alongside mechanical, and flags cross-discipline conflicts like a sprinkler main fighting a duct trunk for the same ceiling space.
