AEConnect for Mechanical & HVAC Contractors — Start at $400/mo

For Mechanical & HVAC Contractors

Update estimates at the pace of design.

Keep cost accuracy as HVAC systems evolve. Work with whatever model detail exists today, supplemented by assumptions where design isn’t complete yet.

One seat, one estimator. No contract. Cancel within the first 30 days.

What Changes for Mechanical & HVAC Contractors

How It Usually Works
  • Design-build pursuits need cost input before MEP design even exists
  • Ductwork rerouted around beams, piping shifted for clearance — tracking what changed takes longer than repricing it
  • A new AHU means different ductwork, different controls, different supports — repricing everything takes days
  • Structural and architectural changes ripple into your scope before you know what moved
With AEConnect
  • Generate credible early budgets from space programming, before MEP design begins
  • Extract quantities directly from whatever MEP model detail exists — ductwork, piping, equipment schedules
  • Delta tracking shows exactly what changed between coordination versions, and what it costs
  • One connected dataset across mechanical, HVAC, and every coordinating trade

Every coordination change, priced before it costs you days.

Know what changed and why before you submit a revised price, not after.

Early budget capability
Generate credible mechanical budgets from space programming before MEP design begins. Support design-build pursuits and GMP negotiations.
Design phase tracking
As MEP models develop, extract quantities from whatever level of detail exists. Track changes between versions.
Coordination change management
Document what changed, when, and why. Quantify scope impacts. Build change order evidence as coordination proceeds.
