Description

InsulEngine is a cloud-based software solution tailored for mechanical insulation contractors, designed for takeoff and estimating purposes. Users can easily upload their plumbing or mechanical bid sets along with specifications; subsequently, the software efficiently measures pipes and ducts directly from the drawings, interpreting sizes from callouts, riser diagrams, and schedules while applying specific insulation requirements such as material, thickness, jacketing, and exclusions. The estimates generated are based on the contractor’s personal costs, labor rates, waste factors, and markup percentages. This comprehensive workflow encompasses various systems, including domestic water, storm drainage, heating, chilled water, steam, condensate, refrigerant line sets, and the full range of supply, return, outside-air, and exhaust ductwork, along with associated fittings, risers, drops, and outdoor jacketing. Each quantity is linked back to its respective drawing sheets, and any items that remain unresolved are highlighted for the estimator’s further review. Importantly, contractors maintain full control over the assumptions made in the estimates and the final bid pricing, ensuring a tailored approach to their unique projects. Furthermore, the software streamlines the estimation process, helping contractors save time while increasing accuracy in their bids.
