Mechanical

Equipment schedules, ductwork, hydronic — one packet.

OmniTakeoff lifts equipment schedules, duct runs, and hydronic piping straight from M-sheets and produces a labor-loaded takeoff that ties every coil, damper, and accessory to the sheet that named it.

What the takeoff produces

A mechanical takeoff that survives review.

Every line item carries the source it came from — sheet, detail, and spec paragraph — so the senior estimator can audit in minutes, not hours.

  • Equipment schedules (AHU, RTU, FCU, VAV, FPB) parsed into structured rows
  • Ductwork lengths and gauges by service, return, and exhaust
  • Hydronic supply / return piping by diameter and material
  • Insulation thickness from spec, not assumed
  • Test & balance, controls, and seismic restraints surfaced as adjustments
  • Refrigerant lines for VRF / split systems segregated for sub-package

Mechanical features

Built for the way your office actually bids.

  • Equipment schedule reader

    AHU / RTU / FCU schedules become structured rows with capacity, accessory, and seismic flags — even when the schedule spans 8 pages.

  • Ductwork geometry

    Plan-view duct runs are calibrated and broken out by service, gauge, and insulation per spec section.

  • Manufacturer manual prompts

    Custom AHUs, VRF systems, and chillers get a 'upload the manual' prompt so the takeoff carries the right accessories and labor factors.

  • Spec-to-line linking

    Click any line item, see the spec paragraph that backs it. No more 'where did this number come from?' debates.

Frequently asked

Questions we hear from estimators.

Do you support VRF takeoffs?
Yes. Indoor unit count and refrigerant pipe routing get a manual-datasheet prompt because brand selection drives ±20% of cost.
How are seismic restraints handled?
We surface seismic restraint counts based on the spec's ASCE 7 callouts and the equipment schedule's weight and mounting class.
Can I separate sub-packages for controls?
Yes — controls scope is reported as its own line group so a temperature-controls sub gets a clean RFQ.
