Send us the sheets. Every fitting counted, gauge called per SMACNA, back in your hands in time to bid it. Decades in the trade, powered by the FlowLogic AI engine.
Four steps. None of them involve you learning anything.
Drop a link to the plan set — Dropbox, Drive, WeTransfer, or the GC's bid-invite link. Tell us when the bid is due.
We count the mechanical sheets that carry real duct scope and come back with a price and an honest date. Nothing starts until you say go.
Duct, fittings, gauge, seam, reinforcement, accessories — counted one at a time and organized the way a sheet metal shop reads it.
Your labor rates, your material pricing, your markup. The number that goes to the GC is yours and only yours.
Linear footage by size and gauge, with seam and reinforcement class called so the shop isn't guessing.
Footage by diameter and gauge, spiral kept separate from longitudinal seam where the drawings distinguish them.
Elbows, transitions, offsets, tees, taps, end caps and boots — counted individually, never folded into a percentage adder.
Dampers, access doors, turning vanes, flex connections, hangers — picked up off the drawings and the specs.
Where the specification calls for it, quantified separately, because lined duct gets handled twice.
A short list of everything we could not resolve from the drawings. Knowing what's unclear before you bid is how you avoid eating it after.
Same approach, same pricing model, every fitting and device counted. Bidding those trades too? Say so when you send a plan set and we'll come to you first.
FlowLogic didn't start as a startup that picked a vertical. It came out of decades in HVAC sheet metal — running takeoffs, running jobs, and being personally on the hook when the number was wrong.
That shows up in the small things. Knowing which details on a drawing are real and which are boilerplate. Knowing when a spec section is quietly going to drive gauge up two steps. Knowing that a "typical" note on sheet M-2 applies to forty locations nobody counted.
Straight duct is a length and a gauge — that's the easy part. The money hides in the fittings, and fittings only get counted right by somebody who has had to build them.
One introductory price for your first plan set, up to six mechanical sheets. No contract, no obligation, and no reason to guess what this is worth to you — try it on a job you're already bidding.
We count only the mechanical sheets that actually carry duct scope — not the cover sheet, not schedules-only pages, not details you'll never take off.
Either way you know the total before we start, and it doesn't move because the job turned out harder than it looked. On a very large plan set we'll quote it up front instead — you'll still have a firm number before anybody counts anything.
And if you send a plan set and we think the takeoff isn't worth doing — scope too vague, drawings too preliminary, addenda pending that will change everything — we'll tell you that instead of taking the money.
Tell us the job and your bid date. You'll get a flat price and a straight answer on whether we can hit your date — before anybody starts counting.
In a hurry? Call (615) 462-1756 and talk to the person who'll do the work.
Don't email the plan set. Put it in Dropbox, Google Drive or WeTransfer and paste the link below — or paste the GC's bid-invite link. Big PDFs bounce.
Your first job is $189 flat, up to six mechanical sheets — an introductory price so you can try this on a job you're already bidding without committing to anything. After that it's $35 per sheet, counting only the sheets that carry real duct scope. On a very large plan set we quote it up front. Either way you get a firm number before any work starts.
No. Nothing to install, no seat to license, nothing for your team to learn. The takeoff comes back as a spreadsheet and a summary — files every shop in the country can already open.
No, and we shouldn't. We quantify the job. Your labor rates, crew productivity, material pricing, markup and risk allowance stay with you — nobody outside your shop knows what your crews actually do in a day.
They always are, somewhere. We send back a list of what we couldn't resolve along with the numbers. That list is often worth as much as the counts.
Yes — nationwide. The work is remote and the drawings are digital. A shop in Oregon gets the same service as one twenty minutes from us.
Sheet metal duct is what we do today, and it's the only thing we'll claim to be good at right now. Plumbing and electrical takeoff are in development — same approach, same pricing model, every fitting and device counted rather than allowanced. If you'd want those trades, say so when you send a plan set and we'll come to you first when they open up.
Equipment and controls aren't on the roadmap. If a job leans on those, say so up front and we'll tell you plainly whether we're the right fit.
