Mechanical Estimating in Half the Time

Mechanical takeoff software helps mechanical and piping contractors measure pipe runs, count fittings, quantify hangers, and track equipment from construction plans. Estimators use it to build material lists for hydronic piping, process piping, plumbing risers, and mechanical systems in commercial and industrial projects. The software converts plan-view pipe routing and isometric drawings into linear footage by pipe size, fitting counts by type, and hanger quantities at specified intervals. For mechanical contractors, where a single project can involve dozens of pipe sizes and thousands of fittings, accurate takeoffs are essential to competitive and profitable bidding.

AI-powered mechanical takeoff software like Exayard speeds up the process by tracing pipe routes, identifying fittings at direction changes, and calculating quantities automatically. Instead of manually following each pipe run with a scale and tallying elbows, tees, and reducers, the AI does it in a fraction of the time. It also reads equipment schedules to track pumps, heat exchangers, and air handling units. For contractors estimating large mechanical rooms or multi-building campuses, Exayard turns days of takeoff work into hours while maintaining the detail needed for accurate material procurement.
