HVAC is priced by system.
Equipment, duct, piping and controls each carry different labor and coordination.
- Air handlers, rooftop units, VRF and split systems
- Ductwork by size, gauge and insulation
- Hydronic and refrigerant piping
- Diffusers, grilles and dampers
- Controls, testing and balancing interfaces
- Rigging, curbs and crane access
Quantities in the units HVAC is priced in.
- Equipment: count by schedule
- Ductwork: pounds or square feet by size and gauge
- Piping: linear feet by size and service
- Air devices: count by type
- Insulation: square feet or linear feet
- Labor and equipment: hours, rigging and cranes

Good questions.
Who uses this service?
Mechanical contractors, general contractors and design-build teams.
Do you size equipment?
No. We estimate from the engineer's documents. Equipment selection is by the design team.
Can I get quantities only?
Yes. A quantity takeoff carries no unit costs. A priced estimate states the pricing basis: your rates, Hemingway pricing inputs for the project's ZIP code, or an applicable wage determination.
What should I send?
Mechanical plans, schedules, details and sequences, architectural plans, Division 23 specifications and addenda.
