HVAC / Mechanical takeoff and estimating
Equipment, ductwork, registers, controls, and start-up. Cloer measures the plan once and derives hvac / mechanical quantities from it, priced against the rates in your own price book.
What gets priced automatically
Each line derives its quantity from the takeoff. The rates below are starting defaults — every one of them is editable in your price book, and yours is what actually gets used.
| Line item | Unit | Quantity comes from |
|---|---|---|
| HVAC system — supply & install | ton | Floor area × 0.00167 |
| Ductwork & distribution | sq ft | Floor area |
| Registers, grilles & returns | each | Room count × 1.4 |
| Thermostat & controls | each | Per project |
| Bath exhaust fan & vent | each | Bathroom count |
Same plan, every trade you carry
Measure once
Upload the drawing and Cloer measures areas, perimeters, and openings. HVAC / Mechanical quantities derive from those same measurements.
Price from your rates
Your price book drives every line. Change a rate and the estimate, proposal, and every downstream document follow.
Send the paperwork
Proposal, change order, invoice — and on Crew, purchase orders, sub scope sheets, and material lists.
