# Teastra Estimator

Teastra Estimator prepares a take-off and a client pack preview for you to check before anything goes to a client.

Built for mechanical and thermal insulation and cladding contractors who need to price work from site, not only from a desk.

You upload the drawings, review the take-off yourself, and only then send anything to a client.

Run by Alumitherm Assist Ltd, CRO 774826.

## Answers

Short, plain answers about what Teastra Estimator does with duct and pipe insulation drawings today. Each one says what is built now, and marks anything that is still coming. Built by David Peck, 30+ years in insulation.

- [Answers about AI duct and pipe insulation take-off](https://estimator.teastra.com/answers)
- [Can AI do ductwork take-offs?](https://estimator.teastra.com/answers/ai-ductwork-takeoff): Yes. Teastra Estimator measures duct runs on PDF drawings to scale, reads the printed sizes and works out square metres for insulation, for you to check.
- [Can AI measure pipe insulation from drawings?](https://estimator.teastra.com/answers/ai-pipe-insulation-takeoff): Yes. Teastra Estimator measures pipe runs on PDF drawings along the centre line, by service and printed size, per linear metre, for you to check.
- [Does it add fittings and bends?](https://estimator.teastra.com/answers/fittings-and-bends): Teastra Estimator counts duct bends, tees and reducers by size for you to check. It does not add fittings to the price yet; that is coming.
- [Does it handle DW144 duct sizes?](https://estimator.teastra.com/answers/dw144-duct-sizes): Teastra Estimator reads DW144 duct sizes as printed, width by height or a diameter, and works out the square metres from the bare duct girth.
- [Can I export to Excel?](https://estimator.teastra.com/answers/export-to-excel): Yes. Download the take-off you have checked as an Excel workbook or a CSV, with pipe in linear metres and duct in square metres on separate lines.
- [Why generic AI measuring tools struggle with duct and pipe](https://estimator.teastra.com/answers/generic-ai-measuring-tools): Duct and pipe take-offs need trade rules a general measuring tool lacks: which size belongs to which run, which services count, and how each is priced.
