FastDuct Features
Master Catalog
With over 250,000 components, FastDuct estimating software has the largest and most comprehensive HVAC estimate catalog. They've included information about rectangular, round, and oval ducts, as well as fittings, accessories, hangers, and specialty. HVAC products from Ductmate, Thermaflex, Metalbestos, Certainteed, and other manufacturers are also available. For each item in the catalog, they provide up-to-date pricing and industry-standard SMACNA labor rates, allowing you to construct estimates quickly and correctly.
Scalable Assemblies
With FastDuct, you can define assemblies that can be scaled directly on the plan in a variety of measures such as linear-feet, square-feet, cubic-feet, and so on. Refrigeration line-sets, advanced excavation, insulation, demolition, and other applications benefit from its versatility. Assemblies also accept user-defined parameters, which lets you change components during takeoff, providing you with even more versatility.
On-screen Digitizer
FastDuct estimating software enables you to perform takeoffs immediately from digital plans on your computer screen, saving time and money on printing and physically marking paper copies. The on-screen digitizer takeoff program is compatible with a wide range of popular CAD Drawing formats, including Windows Bitmap, Dodge Plans, PDF, JPEG, TIF, GIF, PNG Images, and many more.

“Fastduct: The most accurate bidding application i ever came across”
Pros
After years of usage, I can safely recommend Fastduct to construction professionals. The feature I use the most would be the recap sheet to create quick change-out bids for service and construction. I have been able to develop incredibly accurate proposals and take-offs. Once Ive established my parameters, its surprisingly enjoyable and straightforward for me to submit bid after bid, place myself among all my rivals, and win 80% of my auctions.
Cons
Building up your export file to submit to a vendor for pricing can be a bit stressful. It is mainly because the vendor doesnt need all the specifics since they also use software to add the details. Therefore, you must modify it before sending it.
