Monaro

Monaro is an automated HVAC takeoff tool built for distributors and mechanical contractors. Instead of spending 4 to 8 hours manually counting equipment from PDF drawings, you upload a set and the AI extracts the schedule, identifies every diffuser, grille, fan, boiler, and fixture, and counts them across every floor. The output is structured like a traditional takeoff, so your team can jump straight to quoting without re-learning the workflow.

The tool works in stages: upload plans, let the AI count, review flagged uncertainties, and then quote inside the same platform. Monaro surfaces supplier pricing beside your takeoff, so you set margins and send quotes the same day. It also integrates with your existing ERP to push finalized orders, eliminating double entry. The system is built specifically for terminal equipment (no pipe, fittings, or labor), which keeps the output familiar to HVAC distributors.

Monaro is best for bid desk coordinators and estimators at HVAC distribution companies who need to turn around quotes faster. Instead of juggling Adobe, Excel, and email threads, everything lives in one system. The free trial lets you run your first takeoff the same day you sign up, and pricing scales with project volume, not headcount.
