Bobyard can read any drawing
Upload mechanical drawings, schedules, specs, legends, and equipment notes, and Bobyard gets to work.
AI auto-extracts the takeoff in minutes
Ductwork, diffusers, dampers, mechanical piping, and equipment are detected and grouped by system for estimator review.
Roll everything into a pre-built estimate
All quantities flow directly into an estimate table with material and labor costs calculated across counts, lengths, equipment, and more.

Double your bids
Estimators cut takeoff time by 50–90%, so they can chase and win the work they used to leave on the table.
Profit margins, not error margins
Custom AI models trained on mechanical drawings detect with high accuracy, so you don't have to bake in miscount error margins.
Bigger business, same team
Bobyard doesn't replace estimators, it elevates them. Free from counting they can focus on winning over clients and bids.

FAQ
Mechanical takeoff software reads mechanical drawings, measures ductwork and piping, and counts equipment and air devices like diffusers, dampers, and grilles. Bobyard does the first pass, grouped by system, and the estimator reviews it.
Yes. Duct detection returns total duct length by size, including elbows and tees. Pipe detection returns total pipe length by size, including fittings. Both are grouped by system with editable output.
Bobyard identifies HVAC symbols including dampers, diffusers, grilles, and registers, plus ductwork, piping, and equipment, then groups them by system for review.
Both. Reviewed duct, pipe, and equipment quantities flow into an estimate table with material and labor costs, then into a proposal. Or export to CSV, Excel, or PDF and keep your current estimating system.
Upload mechanical drawings along with schedules, specs, legends, and equipment notes. Bobyard groups what it detects by system, and your estimator reviews and edits the results before they move into the estimate.
