Frequently asked questions
What does HVAC estimating software do?
It calculates quantities (ductwork, piping, equipment, terminals) from drawings and applies material and labor prices to produce a bid. Bluecost automates the takeoff with AI and lets you price with your own rates.
Can I price HVAC equipment and ductwork in the same estimate?
Yes. Equipment, duct by length or weight, fittings, insulation and labor can all live in one estimate, with overhead and margin applied automatically.
Does Bluecost read HVAC PDF plans?
Yes. Upload PDF or image plans; the AI measures duct runs and counts devices so you only review and adjust quantities before pricing.

Plans start at $49/month (PRO), with BUSINESS at $99/month and GLOBAL at $179/month for teams and multi-country work.
