Why sheet metal takeoff is different

Your trade has its own units. So does the AI.

Sheet-metal estimating is pounds, gauge, and fittings — all at once. You're tracing every duct run off the mechanical plans, measuring linear feet, converting size and length into square footage and pounds of metal by gauge, then counting every elbow, transition, takeoff, tap, and reducer because the fittings carry the labor. Get the gauge breakpoints wrong or miss a fitting count and your fabrication hours and metal weight are off, and that's where the job loses money. Then you split rectangular from round and spiral, add liner and insulation, hangers and seal, and apply your shop and field labor rates. P2P reads the mechanical and ductwork plans, measures duct linear feet, assigns gauge and weight, counts fittings by type, then prices metal, liner, and labor against your own rates — so you quote in minutes instead of a full shift digitizing duct with a wheel and a takeoff sheet.

What you get

From sheet metal plans to a bid-ready number.

Duct linear feet & gauge takeoff

Upload the plans and the AI measures duct runs in linear feet, assigns gauge and pounds of metal by size, and splits rectangular, round, and spiral automatically.

Fittings counted where labor lives

The takeoff counts elbows, transitions, taps, and reducers by type so your fabrication and field labor hours reflect the real fittings, not a flat per-foot guess.

Turn a mechanical plan into a priced sheet-metal estimate in about 30 minutes, so you can bid every duct package instead of skipping the ones with heavy fitting counts.

Blueprint-to-Bid™

How a sheet metal estimate gets built.

01

Upload your blueprint

Drop a PDF, image, or CAD file — even a messy, multi-sheet set. No login required to start.

02

AI builds the takeoff

The AI reads the sheets, finds your trade's scope, and measures it — counts, lengths, areas — in minutes, not hours.

03

Get a priced estimate

It prices the takeoff against your labor and material rates, so you get a bid-ready estimate you just review and send.

Questions

Sheet Metal estimating — FAQ

How does AI take off ductwork?
P2P reads the mechanical and ductwork plans to measure duct runs in linear feet, convert size and length into square footage and pounds by gauge, and split rectangular, round, and spiral — so you start from measured metal, not a manual wheel.
Does it count fittings?
Yes. The takeoff counts elbows, transitions, taps, and reducers by type, because the fittings drive your fabrication and field labor hours.
Can I set my own gauge and labor rates?
Yes. You control gauge breakpoints, metal and liner costs, and shop and field labor rates, so the estimate prices the way your shop actually fabricates and installs.
How much does a sheet-metal estimate cost?
Roughly $25–$75 per estimate depending on the size of the plan set, drawn from your credit balance. Plans start free and you only pay for estimates you run.
Do I need an account to try it?
No. Upload a blueprint and get a free sheet-metal takeoff with no login. Create an account when you want to save, re-price, and send the estimate.
How accurate is the sheet-metal takeoff?
It's built to get you ~90% of the way to a bid in minutes. Every estimate is a draft you review and adjust before sending — the AI removes the measuring grind, you keep final judgment.
