HVAC Estimating Software Built for Precision

TIBR helps HVAC contractors build fast, accurate estimates—catching every detail from RTUs and VAVs to controls, ductwork, and accessories.

Who it’s for

Commercial and industrial HVAC contractors
Mechanical estimators quoting new installs, retrofits, and maintenance
Service managers needing quick, itemized bids for repairs and upgrades

Why

Automated breakdowns for all HVAC systems—RTUs, AHUs, splits, VRF, ductwork, and controls
Prompted for labor, materials, accessories, and commissioning tasks
Include typical allowances (rigging, insulation, start-up, testing, demo/removal)
Attach clarifications, exclusions, and value engineering options automatically
Export branded proposals as PDF, Word, or shareable web link

The HVAC estimating problem

Mixed system types, ductwork intricacies, controls, and accessories make HVAC bids slow and error-prone. Vendor quotes arrive in different formats and key allowances (rigging, insulation, TAB, startup) get missed. TIBR standardizes estimates so your team moves faster with fewer change orders.

Inconsistent vendor formats → hard to compare and normalize
Missed allowances (rigging, insulation, TAB, startup) → margin risk
Manual proposal formatting → slow responses in competitive cycles

How works for HVAC contractors

Capture scope fast. Speak or paste notes for RTUs, AHUs, split systems, VRF/VRV, VAVs, ductwork, and controls.
AI builds the estimate. Standard sections for equipment, ductwork, piping, controls, accessories, and labor/materials.
Gap-checking prompts. Rigging, insulation, curb adapters, condensate, refrigerant piping/charge, controls integration, wiring, permits.
Clarifications, exclusions, alternates. Auto-attach language to de-risk award and support VE decisions.
Export & share. PDF/Word/CSV or a branded proposal link with version history.

Estimators

Consistent structure across system types
Alternates & VE organized by zone/phase
Reusable libraries speed up bid prep

Project Managers

Clear inclusions/exclusions reduce RFIs
Exportable BOMs/checklists for install & startup
Audit trail for revisions and approvals

Owners & GCs

Readable proposals with apples-to-apples structure
Transparent assumptions and commissioning plan
Faster decisions with cleaner comparisons

Typical scope elements covered

Equipment: RTUs, AHUs, heat pumps, split systems, VRF/VRV, fan coils, boilers/chillers (where applicable)
Ductwork: supply/return/exhaust, fittings, transitions, dampers, fire/smoke controls
Piping: refrigerant lines, condensate, hydronic, hangers, insulation
Controls: BMS integration, thermostats, sensors, wiring, programming
Accessories & allowances: curb adapters, rigging, cranes, startup, TAB, permits, closeout

Integrations & outputs

Export estimates and BOMs to PDF, Word, and CSV. Maintain unit-price and assembly libraries by system type. Accounting/ERP integrations (QuickBooks Online, Xero, and more) are planned — see the roadmap.

Results HVAC teams see

50–80% faster time-to-proposal
Cleaner assumptions and fewer RFIs
Higher hit rates with consistent, polished output

FAQs

Can TIBR handle both plan/spec and design/build HVAC projects?

Yes. TIBR structures both detailed mechanical takeoffs and high-level design/build budgets, helping you clarify scope and capture every allowance.

Does TIBR support ductwork, controls, and accessories?

Absolutely. You can itemize all system components—duct runs, grilles, dampers, controls, and specialty accessories.

Can I save templates for recurring HVAC bid types?

Yes. Create reusable templates for RTU replacements, office fit-outs, industrial installs, and more.

Will TIBR help me catch missing line items?

TIBR prompts for common omissions—rigging, startup, controls, demo, insulation—so you can submit complete, professional bids every time.
