I will do hvac ductwork takeoff and fabrication estimate
Bid ready HVAC takeoffs, quantities, pricing and sizing fast
About this Gig
Are you in need of an accurate HVAC ductwork takeoff, duct fabrication estimate, or sheet-metal quantity takeoff for your bid? I convert your plans into a clear, audit-ready package for contractors, fabricators, builders, and estimators.
I can quantify rectangular, round, oval, and flexible duct, fittings, dampers, diffusers, grilles, registers, insulation, lining, hangers, sealants, and related accessories. Depending on the package, you receive an Excel quantity/BOQ sheet, marked-up PDF plans, duct-size and gauge breakdown, sheet-metal weight, and labor/material cost assumptions.
I work from PDF, CAD, or image plan sets and can organize results by floor, system, drawing, or area. Tell me the project location, bid deadline, preferred pricing database, and whether you need quantities only or a priced estimate. Large plan sets, incomplete drawings, shop-drawing coordination, or unusual standards can be handled through a custom offer.
This service is an estimating and takeoff deliverable, not stamped engineering or a site inspection.

FAQ
Can you take off rectangular and round HVAC ductwork from PDF plans?
Yes. I can quantify rectangular, round, oval, and flex duct from readable PDF plans and organize the results by floor, system, or drawing.
Do you include duct fittings and transitions in the estimate?
Yes, when the plans show or reasonably identify them. I can list elbows, tees, reducers, offsets, takeoffs, dampers, and other visible fittings separately.
Can you calculate sheet-metal weight by duct gauge?
Yes, in the Premium package or by custom offer. I will use the gauge and material assumptions you provide and clearly identify any plan-based assumptions.
Will I receive a marked-up PDF and Excel file?
Standard and Premium include both. Basic includes a marked PDF and a concise quantity schedule; source-format needs should be agreed before ordering.
Can you include insulation, lining, hangers, and sealant?
Yes. These accessories can be included when shown in the documents or specified in your requirements.
Do you provide fabrication-ready shop drawings?
I provide a fabrication-oriented quantity and schedule package. Stamped shop drawings, engineering approval, and formal coordination drawings require a separate qualified professional.
Can you price the takeoff for my local market?
Yes, if you provide a location, supplier rates, labor assumptions, or approved pricing database. Otherwise, I will deliver quantities with clearly labeled allowance assumptions.
Can you handle a commercial duct plan set larger than the package limit?
Yes. Send the sheet count, square footage, and scope for a custom quote with a realistic delivery schedule.
What file types can you review?
PDF is preferred. CAD, image files, schedules, specifications, and marked references can also be used when they are readable and complete.
Is this an engineering design or stamped calculation?
No. This is an estimating and takeoff service. It does not replace licensed design, code review, field verification, or stamped approval.
