  1. Question: How many diffusers and grilles were signed off on this job? Clara: 240 diffusers and grilles, from the signed takeoff. TabPro's own count was 201; your estimator added 39 before sign-off. Source: Takeoff, signed.
  2. Question: ¿Cuántos difusores y rejillas se firmaron en este trabajo? Clara: 240 difusores y rejillas, del conteo firmado. El conteo automático había dado 201. Source: Takeoff, signed.
  3. Question: How many VAV boxes are on this job? Clara: 75 VAV boxes from the signed-off takeoff, and 3 fan-powered boxes. Source: Takeoff, signed.
  4. Question: Show me the takeoff. Clara: Here is the signed takeoff for this job. Source: Open the takeoff.

Takeoff, on a real set

It boxes each device it finds, on its sheet.

Colored by kind and counted in your worksheet's rows. Your estimator checks each box, removes what is wrong and adds what was missed, before anything is priced.

Today

Capture: the same part of the plan with TabPro's boxes off, the sheet as an estimator gets it.

The sheet as it comes. Each device is found, counted and typed in by hand.

With TabPro

Capture: part of a mechanical floor plan in TabPro's takeoff review with TabPro's boxes on: diffusers and grilles in teal, VAV boxes in violet, one left out of pricing in pink, each where it sits on the sheet.
Capture: the takeoff worksheet beside the plan. Supply diffusers, registers and grilles, each row a device type with its count; the set total updates as the estimator reviews.

Each device it finds is boxed where it sits and counted into your worksheet.

Capture The same view in TabPro with its boxes off (today) and on (with TabPro): teal for priced diffusers, registers and grilles, violet for VAV boxes, pink for ones your firm's rules leave out of pricing. On the whole set, TabPro counted 201; the estimator drew in 39 it missed, so the set total reads 201 to 240. Capture from TabPro. Project name hidden.

The work behind every bid

The work is hard. The paperwork shouldn't be.

You count it at night, and most of those bids won't come back. The ones that do, you type again for the field, and again for the report.

Miss one box and the firm eats it. A wrong design value is a return trip.

AI built in, not bolted on

One record, from the drawing set to the signed report.

Most software in this trade was built to store the job, with AI added on top. TabPro was built the other way round: the AI reads every file into one record, and every part of the job works from it. Upload an addendum or a submittal and the record takes it in, with what changed and what it touches.

More about Clara
Capture: asked in Spanish how many diffusers and grilles were approved, Clara answers in Spanish: 240 from the signed count, the automatic count 201, the job total 413, citing the takeoff.
Capture The same question in Spanish: the same 240, the same 201, the same source. Captures from TabPro. Project name hidden.

Before it goes out

Your name is on every number. Three checks, each by a person.

  1. Capture: the close-ups view. Each counted device has a close-up with a check; the ones the estimator added are marked Added; the sheet shows 45 of 45 checked and a Sign off button.

    1

    Your estimator checks each box

    Every counted device has its close-up. A wrong one is deleted, a missed one is drawn in and marked Added, and the sheet shows how many are checked before it is signed off.

    Capture From TabPro, project name hidden.

  2. Capture: a pre-field question for the engineer from another job's record, naming the sheets that raised it, with an Ask button.

    What the set leaves open goes to the engineer

    A unit on the schedule but not on the plan, a grille with no CFM: each becomes a question naming the sheets that raised it, ready to copy into an RFI.

    Capture From another job's pre-field record.

    Each report item is reviewed one by one, and a reading outside the band carries the tech's note for the engineer. Your certified signer signs; TabPro never does.

Straight answers.

What do I send you?

The mechanical drawings and the Division 23 specs, as PDFs. We walk the takeoff and the pre-field record through with you, on your own job.

Do I keep my worksheet and my report template?

Yes. The takeoff fills your firm's worksheet rows, by your rules for what gets priced, and the report is drafted on your firm's own template and forms.

Does it follow NEBB or AABC?

Each job is set to the procedures your firm follows, NEBB or AABC, and the tolerances its spec sets.

Does it replace my techs or my certified signer?

No. TabPro does the volume work: the count, the pre-field record and the draft report. Your team reviews and corrects it, and your certified signer signs.

What does it cost?

Pricing is per firm. Book a demo and we will walk one of your sets first, then quote.

Your techs balance the building. TabPro does the paperwork around it.
