We are rebuilding HVAC estimating from the metal up.
Pictor was built by people who watched estimators bleed days into spreadsheets, counting fittings by hand. We knew there was a faster, more accurate way — so we built it.
Give every contractor the speed of a 50-person estimating team.
Sheet metal contractors are the backbone of every commercial build — yet they are stuck with tools designed in the 90s. We pair purpose-built AI with the trades expertise of real fabricators to deliver takeoffs in minutes, not days. The goal: more bids won, fewer late nights, healthier margins.
Three principles that shape every line of code we ship.
Speed Over Status Quo
We obsess over shaving days off every estimate. Every second counts on the shop floor.
Accuracy by Default
AI-driven detection trained on real ductwork plans — not generic vision models.
Built for Trust
Your pricing, your rates, your data. We never train on your bids.
Why we exist
Pictor started in a fabrication shop, not a Silicon Valley garage. Our founders spent years watching small contractors lose bids to bigger competitors — not because their pricing was off, but because they could not turn quotes around fast enough.
We combined computer vision, large language models, and decades of trades knowledge into a single engine that reads ductwork plans the way a senior estimator does — only 1,000x faster. Today, contractors across North America trust Pictor to win more work without working more hours.
