About InsulEngine is cloud-based takeoff and estimating software for mechanical insulation contractors. Users upload a plumbing or mechanical bid set and specification; the software measures pipe and duct from drawings, reads sizes from callouts, riser diagrams and schedules, and applies insulation requirements for material, thickness, jacketing and exclusions. Estimates use the contractor’s own costs, labor rates, waste and markup. The workflow covers domestic water and storm, heating and chilled water, steam and condensate, refrigerant line sets, and supply, return, outside-air and exhaust ductwork, including fittings, risers, drops and outdoor jacketing. Quantities are traceable to their drawing sheets, and unresolved items are flagged for estimator review. Contractors retain control over estimate assumptions and final bid pricing.
