Estimating for controls contractors

Point counts you can defend.

PointCount turns a building's equipment into honest point counts and controller fit β€” then flows straight into takeoffs, bids, proposals, and RFQs. Built for the way mechanical and HVAC-controls contractors actually estimate.

πŸ”’ Multi-tenant & role-aware πŸ“ Deterministic calculators 🧾 Honest catalog β€” no invented prices

From equipment list to a bid you can stand behind

Three steps, one source of truth. No spreadsheets held together with hope.

STEP 01

Point count

Turn the mechanical schedule into a defensible I/O point count β€” inputs, outputs, and the network picture β€” instead of guessing off a plan set.

STEP 02

Controller fit

Match points to controllers from a curated catalog and see the fit β€” no silent $0, no fabricated specs. If a number isn't backed by a real source, it stays blank and flagged.

STEP 03

Takeoff & bid

Roll the count into a takeoff, a priced bid, a proposal, and an RFQ β€” with change orders, POs, and invoices when you're ready to run the whole job.

The moat: catalog honesty

A wrong number is worse than a blank one

Most tools will happily hand you a confident, made-up price. PointCount won't. Equipment data stays unvalidated until it's backed by a real source, prices enter only from supplier quotes or your own entry, and unpriced lines read β€œunpriced β€” RFQ,” never a fake $0. That discipline is the product β€” because your bid is your reputation.

Built for BAS / DDC

Controls is the product here, not an afterthought assembly bolted onto a ductwork tool.

Your data stays yours

Every org's projects, money, and people are isolated β€” role-aware down to who can see pay rates.

Buy the workflow you need β€” Γ  la carte
