From M-Sheet to estimate in minutes
Bobyard reads your mechanical drawings, detects ducts, piping, symbols, and equipment, and rolls it all into an estimate.
Cut your takeoff in half
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 supercharges them. Free from counting they can focus on winning over clients and bids.

FAQ
Bobyard is an AI-powered takeoff and estimating platform built for the trades. For mechanical contractors, Bobyard reads drawings, auto-extracts quantities, and rolls every quantity into a pre-built estimate.
Bobyard's AI is trained on millions of construction drawings, including the symbols, schedules, and scope signals specific to mechanical plans. Upload your drawings and Bobyard detects the relevant quantities so your estimators know exactly where to focus their review.
Legacy tools were built before modern AI, so counting, routing, and assemblies are still largely manual or split across multiple platforms. Bobyard is purpose-built for AI takeoff, trained on the trades specifically, rather than being a tacked-on or generic model.
Yes. Bobyard detects ductwork and mechanical piping, groups quantities by size and system, and keeps the output editable for estimator review.
Mechanical contractors and estimators use Bobyard to scale their bid volume, from small shops sending more bids per week to large estimating teams scaling their pipeline without scaling headcount.
Most teams are running live takeoffs within their first onboarding session. Every customer gets a dedicated CSM and hands-on training on real projects, and the platform is designed to be intuitive enough that your team won't need extensive training to keep using it.
