An insulation takeoff is an estimating system that helps HVAC contractors calculate the amount of all materials and labor needed to complete a task or job. They may also be referred to as insulation calculation software.

Depending on the material you’re taking off, you’ll want to gather length, width or height measurements that can be used to calculate the exact dimensions of the materials you need. From there, areas and volumes can be assumed and combined with material and labor prices to arrive at an estimate.

Houzz Pro’s estimating software for mechanical insulation works in minutes by allowing HVAC contractors to either manually upload measurements or import plans. From there, you’re able to mark plans up on screen, measuring lengths, width heights and calculating volumes or areas. Because Houzz Pro’s mechanical insulation takeoff software also comes with a built-in estimator, you can quickly turn your takeoffs into professional estimates so you can get your bid in first.
