ASSEMBLIES
Assembly-based estimating with editable labor units.
SMACNA labor factors preloaded. Your in-house adjustments layer on top, per project or globally. History stays in the assembly - you know when a line got edited and by whom.
02 · ESTIMATING
Assemblies, labor units, and a recap that reconciles to the dollar.
Comes loaded with SMACNA labor factors. Every single line is overridable - because your shop is not the book. Price from Trade Service. Import equipment schedules. Split prefab from field. Build a crew. Print a leveling sheet that actually levels.

PRICING
Trade Service integration.
Live pricing for sheet metal, ductwork, and air-side equipment pulled at the project level. Lock a price at bid time and keep it locked; rerun against today's pricing if you want to see the delta. No phone calls to the supply house to sanity check.
EQUIPMENT
Equipment schedule import from the mechanical schedules.
Drop in the mechanical equipment schedule sheet. The app reads the tag, model, and performance data for AHUs, RTUs, VAVs, and terminal units, and creates the line items. You adjust, you don't retype.
PREFAB / FIELD
Shop fab vs. field install splits.
Model the prefab hours separately. Your shop labor rate, field labor rate, and the crew mix for each flow through automatically. Setup time and material movement tracked per assembly.
CREW MODELING
Crew composition that reflects your shop.
Shop crews, field install crews, service crews. Different mixes, different rates, different productivity assumptions. Change a crew on an assembly and the hours recalculate across the job.
RECAP + LEVELING
Generated, not hand-built at 2am.
Recap sheet, leveling sheet, bid form - all generated from the same source of truth. If the estimate changes, the sheets change. You stop reconciling three PDFs at midnight.
