➔ HVAC & Mechanical (Divisions 22 & 23) Takeoff & Estimating in Bluebeam Revu

Takeoff & estimating tool set for HVAC ductwork, hydronic and domestic water piping, and plumbing, built for mechanical estimators, sheet-metal and piping contractors, and mechanical engineers. This tool set covers 19 tool sets and 2,150+ sized tools — 26 rectangular duct widths from 6 to 72 in, 29 round duct diameters from 4 to 60 in, and 14 pipe sizes from 1/2 to 12 in — every one a native Bluebeam polylength or count measurement that lands in the Markups List ready to export.

Every tool carries its trade, system, shape, material, gauge, pressure class, connector, seam, sealer and hanger type, and drops its own numbers into 101 custom columns: total length, segments, joints and hangers; sheet-metal area and weight at the tool's gauge from the SMACNA tables; cleats, corners, bolts, nuts, washers, gasket, sealant, rod, beam clamps and strut; pipe weight; material cost, hardware cost, shop hours and cost, field hours and cost, and total cost. You type at most the second duct dimension, a riser height, a rod drop, an elbow angle, or a quantity multiplier to repeat a typical floor. Material, labour and hardware rates sit in plain Number columns — set them once for the whole takeoff or overwrite any row — and no price, wage or hour is embedded in a formula. Every tool ships priced, with sourced defaults for duct, pipe, terminals, dampers, louvers and hardware and flagged budget figures where no public price exists, listed on the included project rate card; a calculation guide shows every formula and worked examples. Rectangular duct is priced by weight with TDC joint hardware per joint; round duct joins by coupling; pipe is priced by the foot as copper Type L to 2 in and steel Schedule 40 from 2-1/2 in, with hanger spacing to IMC and IPC. Delivered as a Revu profile that installs the tool sets, columns and layout in one import, plus the 19 tool set files and the column set on their own, in imperial and metric editions.
