MECHANICAL TAKEOFF

A Faster, More Confident Start on Mechanical Takeoffs

ConstructConnect Takeoff helps you get a first pass on mechanical scope while giving you the visibility and control to review the quantities and assumptions behind your bid. Bring your plans, schedules, details, specifications, and takeoff work together in a browser-based workflow.

Takeoff Assist is an AI chat that helps you work through your project. Ask it to help with mechanical scope, review the results, and refine your estimate with your own judgment.

HOW IT WORKS

Mechanical takeoff workflow

  1. Upload your plans

    Open your project in the browser. Auto Name and Auto Scale help organize pages and set drawing scale, reducing repetitive setup so you can get to the takeoff sooner.

  2. Get a head start on mechanical measurements

    Ask Takeoff Assist to help with the controls, equipment, grilles, registers and diffusers, insulation, piping, refrigerant piping, or sheet metal scope shown in your plans. Start with the conditions that matter to your bid, then review results against mechanical schedules, plans, sections, details, notes, and specifications.

  3. Review the work behind the number

    Review the results and make any changes before completing your estimate. Check equipment, air distribution, ductwork, piping, and system conditions against the full drawing set. Ask Takeoff Assist to help locate the schedule or detail behind a condition that needs clarification.

FASTER TAKEOFFS

A faster first pass on mechanical. More time to review your bid.

FIRST PASS

Get a head start on mechanical quantities

Mechanical scope can span equipment, controls, ductwork, terminal devices, and piping across plans, schedules, sections, and details. Auto Takeoff can help organize a first pass across controls, equipment, grilles, registers and diffusers, insulation, piping, refrigerant piping, and sheet metal—giving you more time to review the assumptions behind your estimate.

Example prompt“Help me review the sheet metal and air distribution scope on this plan. Use the schedules and details, and flag items or conditions that need clarification.”

TRACE THE DETAIL

Find the detail behind the quantity

Mechanical conditions often depend on information spread across plans, schedules, sections, details, notes, and specifications. Takeoff Assist can help you look across the project for the information behind an equipment, ductwork, or piping condition.

Example prompts“Which mechanical equipment is scheduled for this area?”
“Which detail shows the duct transition at this location?”

REVIEW WITH CONFIDENCE

Focus review on the scope that drives the estimate

Check equipment and controls against schedules and details. Review sheet metal routes and transitions, grilles, registers and diffusers, insulation, piping, and refrigerant piping against the full drawing set. Resolve unclear system requirements and scope boundaries before finalizing quantities.

Complete takeoffs from anywhere

Cloud-based browser access lets you open project plans and takeoffs from the office, the job site, or at home. No desktop install means your mechanical estimating work is not tied to one workstation.

Put less time into setup and more into estimating

Automated page naming and scale setup help reduce repetitive preparation. Auto Takeoff can help organize an initial pass on mechanical scope, while Takeoff Assist gives you another way to work through project information. Review and refine the results before using them in your estimate.

Stay in control

Review takeoff results and make any changes you need. Ask Takeoff Assist for context behind a measurement, then use your expertise to confirm scale, scope, system conditions, and quantities before finalizing your bid.
