Sketch the duct run the way you always have. Get the cut list, the fitting count, and the material order before you climb down. No CAD. No classes. No desk.
START YOUR 2 WEEKS FREEIf you can sketch a run on the back of a submittal, you can run this app. Your finger is the pencil.
First takeoff in ten minutes. It draws the way the trade already reads it.
It lives on the phone in your pocket and works standing under the deck โ where the duct actually goes.
Every cut prints its math, connector deductions and all. Check every number before you shear.
Drag your finger the way the duct runs. Legs snap to real directions. Don't know a length? Mark it โ?โ and it gets solved.
Pick your liner thickness once and it sizes the duct to the free area you need, and puts wrap and pins on the insulation list โ not the metal list.
Tap in the takeoffs, flex whips, boots, and every diffuser. Rack in the way? Mark it and it dodges, counting the added fittings and the offset math.
Cut list with the connector deductions shown, the fitting and diffuser schedule, hangers and ceiling wires counted, and the consumables โ screws, slips, drives, sealant โ on their own list.
Drag your finger. Pull the trigger. That's the training.
Duct-Shot is field-tested by Bel Air Mechanical crews on live commercial work. These are our jobs โ nothing staged.
You're standing in the basement looking at the actual job โ not a drawing from somebody's office.
Every length, every fitting, every connector โ counted off the real conditions, with the math shown.
One trip to the counter with the full list. The transition nobody counted? Already on it.
Change order? Homeowner asking "how much"? You've got the material list before you're up the stairs.
It's funny because it's true, and it's true because we've all lived it. Every laugh has a lesson hiding in it โ that's how the trade trains the new guy, and it's how we built the app.
Don't like reading? Neither do we. Hit ๐ LISTEN on any box and it reads that one out loud.
Nobody ever quit the trade over a hard day โ they quit over being lost and too proud to say so. Humor is how crews teach without anyone admitting they're learning. That's the product too. Duct-Shot tells you the truth about the math and never makes you feel stupid for asking.
The full takeoff engine, laser link, cut lists, and the complete training library. Same price for a one-man shop or a hundred hands โ no tiers, no corporate discount.

Step-by-step how-to videos plus Foreman School โ duct sizing, connector deductions, hangers, sealing, field measuring. Unlocked the minute you sign up.
Tell it 1" or 2" liner and the app builds the duct to the free area you need โ not the size somebody scribbled on the print.
External wrap gets figured by the square foot off the actual run and lands on the insulation list โ separate vendor, separate order.
Exposed spiral in a warehouse? Say so once and it stops adding insulation you're not installing.
The stuff that stops the job at 3 p.m. โ pins, clips, adhesive โ counted with the run, not guessed at the counter.
Trunk line's the easy part. The takeoffs, the flex whips, the boots, and every diffuser and register โ that's where the count falls apart and somebody drives back to the supply house.
Drop a flex whip off the trunk, give it a length, and it counts the flex, the collar, the damper, and the clamps.
Neck size, boot, and the grille โ counted per opening so the schedule and your order actually match.
Code says support it independently of the grid. The app counts two wires on every diffuser โ the item that's missed on nearly every layout.
Give it the spacing and it counts the hangers, straps, and rod for the whole run โ including the extra pair at every offset.
On duct, the killer isn't a missing elbow โ it's the box of screws, the slips and drives, the sealant, and the cable ties nobody counted. The Bucket tracks the consumables: what you've got on the truck, what the run actually needs, and what to grab before you leave.
Per joint, per size, off the real run โ not "grab a bundle and hope."
Figured by the number of joints and the linear feet, so the mastic doesn't run out mid-riser.
Counted on your spacing, with the extras at offsets and every diffuser's two wires included.
Tell it what you already have and it only orders the difference. Quit paying twice for a box of #10s.
One trip. The consumables are the trip you didn't plan for.
