HVAC DESIGN SOFTWARE

HVAC & MEP Design Software for Contractors and Engineers

AI design narratives, submittal compliance review, and proposal generation built into the same platform that runs your AI takeoff and estimating.
For mechanical and MEP teams, design documentation, takeoff, and estimating usually live in disconnected tools. DesignFlow Build brings them together: AI-generated design narratives and submittal compliance review sit alongside the AI blueprint takeoff that reads your plans and the estimating that prices the work — so design documentation, compliance, and pricing stay connected from proposal through closeout.

AI design narratives

Generate mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design narratives from your project information — a documented basis of design you can review, edit, and issue.

  • Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing narratives

  • Drafted from your project data

  • Editable, documented basis of design

Submittal compliance review

Review submittals against your specifications with traceability, so discrepancies surface during review rather than in the field.

  • Spec-to-submittal compliance review

  • Traceable findings and status

  • Catch discrepancies before installation

Proposals and engineering workplans

Build proposals (including SF330) and engineering workplans with deliverable planning, then track job costing and fee realization as the work progresses.

  • Proposal generation, including SF330

  • Workplans and deliverable planning

  • Job costing and fee realization

Connected to takeoff and estimating

The AI blueprint takeoff reads your plans and feeds the estimate, so quantities and equipment carry straight into pricing and procurement.

  • AI plan takeoff feeds the estimate

  • Quantities carry into pricing

  • 200+ term MEP vocabulary with CSI codes

Coming soon: AI room survey with HAP-ready export

In active development: an AI room survey that reads architectural plans and exports a room schedule (CSV/Excel) formatted for import into load calculation tools such as Carrier HAP.

  • AI room survey from architectural plans

  • Room schedule export (CSV/Excel)

  • Formatted for HAP import

Frequently asked questions

AI design narratives (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), submittal compliance review with traceability, proposal generation including SF330, engineering workplans with deliverable planning, and job costing with fee realization — integrated with the platform’s AI blueprint takeoff and estimating.

Not today. In active development is an AI room survey that reads architectural plans and exports a HAP-ready room schedule (CSV/Excel), so you can move plan data into your load calculation tool without manual room-by-room entry.

No — it is built for MEP broadly: mechanical/HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and sheet metal, with trade-aware detection and a 200+ term MEP vocabulary.

Mechanical and MEP contractors and engineering firms that want design documentation, takeoff, estimating, and project delivery in one connected platform.
