Export HVAC Takeoffs to Excel in Minutes
Most HVAC estimators price in Excel, so a takeoff is only useful if it lands there cleanly. DuctIQ reads your mechanical drawings, builds a structured takeoff, and exports ductwork, fittings, and equipment to Excel or CSV — ready to drop into your bid sheet.
No re-keying quantities, no copying numbers off a screen: the takeoff you review is the takeoff you export.

From PDF drawing to Excel takeoff
The slow handoff in most takeoff workflows is moving quantities from the takeoff tool into the pricing spreadsheet by hand. That re-keying is where transcription errors enter a bid.
DuctIQ removes the step. Once you have reviewed the takeoff, you export it to Excel or CSV with the line items intact — duct by size and system, fittings, and equipment — so your pricing workbook starts from clean, structured data.
What the export contains
The export mirrors the reviewable takeoff you see on screen, organised the way an estimator prices it.
- Ductwork lines by system and size, in linear feet.
- Fitting counts.
- Equipment listed from the drawing's schedules.
- Structured columns ready for formulas in your pricing workbook.
- CSV option for importing into other estimating systems.
Fits the workflow you already have
You do not have to change how you price. DuctIQ handles the takeoff and hands you Excel; your bid sheet, your formulas, and your unit costs stay exactly where they are. It slots into the front of your existing process instead of replacing it.

Frequently asked questions
What formats can I export?
DuctIQ exports to Excel and CSV. Excel suits a pricing workbook directly; CSV suits importing into another estimating system.
Does the export match what I review on screen?
Yes. The export mirrors the reviewable takeoff — the same duct, fitting, and equipment lines you verified before exporting.
Do I need to re-key quantities into my bid sheet?
No. That is the point of the export: the quantities come across structured so you price them rather than re-type them.
Can I edit the takeoff before exporting?
You review the line items before export, so the file you download reflects the quantities you have confirmed.
Will it work with my existing estimating spreadsheet?
Yes. Because the output is standard Excel/CSV, it drops into the pricing workbook or estimating tool you already use.
