Ductwork
Supply, return, general and flexible duct runs.
What you get from AI takeoff software for construction estimating
Remove the measuring work
not the control.
A manual duct takeoff means hours of measuring runs and counting fittings, dampers and terminals from PDF drawings. It is repetitive work, and results vary from one estimator to the next.
MeasureAI's AI detects, classifies, and measures ductwork and ventilation components using trade-specific logic, while professional judgment stays with the estimator.
What our ductwork takeoff software measures
The MeasureAI workspace organizes a ventilation drawing into the element types estimators count and measure every day.
Fittings
Duct fittings, counted and classified from the drawing.
Dampers
Fire dampers and volume dampers.
Grilles, diffusers and terminals
Terminal units, grilles and diffusers, with sizes assisted from duct labels where available.
Access doors
Access doors counted alongside the ductwork.

HVAC takeoff software FAQs
Answers about AI HVAC takeoff and ductwork estimating with MeasureAI.
MeasureAI automates HVAC and ductwork takeoffs from drawing sets by detecting, classifying, and measuring components, then structuring quantities into a workbook for your estimating workflow.
Yes. The HVAC trade has launched. Get started with an account, or book a call to see it on your own drawings.
Upload multi-page PDF drawings. MeasureAI detects and measures the ductwork and ventilation components on them.
Yes. Estimators can review, approve, edit, or reject detections. Low-confidence results are surfaced clearly so teams can validate quantities before export.
Yes. Quantities are prepared for structured workbook workflows and export paths aligned with industry-standard estimating processes.
Yes. The platform is designed for multi-user estimating workflows with role-based controls, auditability, and UK/EU hosting considerations for GDPR-aligned operations.
