HVAC Estimating FAQs

What is included in an HVAC estimate?

Our mechanical estimates include ductwork weights and linear footage, piping lengths by material type, equipment schedules (AHUs, chillers, VAV boxes), hanger and support counts, labor hours based on SMACNA standards, and digital markup PDFs showing every takeoff.

Do you handle both commercial and industrial HVAC projects?

Yes. We estimate projects ranging from small commercial fit-outs to large industrial facilities including cleanrooms, data centers, manufacturing plants, and healthcare environments. Each project type has specialized estimating protocols.

How do you ensure SMACNA compliance?

All our ductwork estimates follow SMACNA HVAC Duct Construction Standards for gauge selection, joint types, and support spacing. We also incorporate local mechanical code amendments and ASHRAE 90.1 energy requirements where applicable.

Can you estimate design-build or conceptual projects?

Yes, we provide preliminary estimates based on narrative scopes, one-line diagrams, or partial design documents. While final estimates require complete drawings, early-stage estimates help you establish budget targets during design development.

Do you provide value engineering options?

Every estimate includes value engineering alternatives such as different duct materials, piping alternatives, and equipment substitutions with cost comparisons. We help you identify the best cost-to-performance ratio for your specific project.

What's your typical turnaround for HVAC takeoffs?

Standard projects under 50,000 sq ft are typically delivered in 24-48 hours. Larger projects like hospitals, industrial facilities, or high-rises may require 3-5 business days for complete accuracy. Rush service is available upon request.

Do you handle refrigeration and specialty cooling systems?

Yes, we estimate DX systems, VRF/VRV configurations, chilled beam, thermal storage, industrial process cooling, and ammonia refrigeration. Each system type requires specialized takeoff approaches and vendor coordination.

Are your estimates NDA protected and secure?

Absolutely. We sign NDAs for every project and all data is processed through secure, encrypted channels. Your project information and estimating data remain strictly confidential.
