Ventilation quoting background
Ventilation & Subfloor

Floor plan to ventilation quote in minutes

Upload a builder's plan and Cooledge finds the wet rooms, places grilles, fans and ducting, then prices the whole job from your own catalogue — bathroom and laundry exhaust or subfloor damp and mould work.

Auto Layout does the first pass. You review the canvas, pick your fan and controller, then send a professional quote the customer can accept online.

From floor plan to priced exhaust quote — automatically

Drop in a builder's PDF or a photo of the plan. Cooledge detects the rooms and highlights the wet rooms — bathrooms, ensuites and laundries — in blue. Auto Layout then places an extraction grille in each wet room, adds inline fans and flexible ducting, and drops the exhaust point at the nearest external wall. The canvas is fully editable, so you drag parts, draw duct runs and resize grilles until it matches the job.

  • Wet rooms detected and tinted blue automatically
  • A grille placed in every bathroom, ensuite and laundry
  • Inline fans, flexible ducting and the exhaust point auto-placed
  • Flex ducting in 100mm, 125mm and 150mm
  • Fully editable canvas — drag parts, draw duct runs, resize grilles
  • Mark a grille or vent “reuse existing” to leave it off the price

Auto Layout does the first pass

One click lays out the whole system. Cooledge places a grille in each wet room, sizes and routes the flexible ducting, and drops the exhaust at the nearest external wall — a wall grille or a roof cowl. Tweak anything on the canvas, then re-run Auto Layout whenever you want a clean starting point again. Every part count feeds the quote directly.

  • One click places grilles, fans, ducting and the exhaust point
  • Exhaust routed to the nearest external wall
  • Re-run any time to reset the layout
  • Part counts drive the quote — no double entry

Priced from your catalogue, not ours

The quote builder reads the part counts straight from the plan, so you never re-enter them. You just choose the fan unit, controller and power supply. Pricing comes from your own Ventilation and Subfloor Ventilation catalogues — fans priced at cost with your margin and base install applied automatically, all GST-inclusive. Keeping an existing switch? Pick “None (existing switch)” and it costs nothing.

  • Part counts pulled “from the floor plan”
  • You pick the fan unit, controller and power supply
  • Your margin and base install applied automatically
  • GST-inclusive totals, ready to send

Subfloor jobs too

Damp and mould work under the house runs on the same canvas. Switch to subfloor mode and place subfloor vents along the walls, add inlet spigots, an inline fan and the ducting between them. It prices from your Subfloor Ventilation catalogue with the same margin and base-install logic — so a subfloor extraction quote is just as fast as an exhaust one.

  • Place subfloor vents, inlet spigots, fan and ducting
  • Purpose-built for damp and mould jobs
  • Priced from your Subfloor Ventilation catalogue
  • Same fast canvas, same one-click quote

From plan to paid

One click turns the design into everything you need. Send a professional PDF quote, share an online quote page the customer can accept in a tap, and generate a supplier take-off — a full parts list — for ordering. It all flows from the same plan, so there's nothing to re-key between the canvas and the customer.

  • Professional PDF quote
  • Online quote page the customer can accept
  • Supplier take-off and parts list in one click
  • Everything driven by the same plan

Powerful Features Under the Hood

Everything you need to turn a floor plan into a ventilation quote and a supplier order

Wet-room detection

Cooledge reads the plan and highlights the wet rooms in blue, so every bathroom, ensuite and laundry gets a grille without you hunting for them.

  • Bathrooms, ensuites and laundries tinted automatically
  • A grille placed in each wet room
  • Works on builder PDFs and photos of plans

Your catalogue, your margins

Pricing comes from your own Ventilation and Subfloor Ventilation catalogues. Fans are priced at cost with your margin and base install applied automatically.

  • Ventilation and Subfloor Ventilation catalogues
  • Fans at cost, your margin on top
  • Base install applied automatically
  • GST-inclusive totals

Reuse-existing handling

Keeping a grille, vent or an existing switch on site? Mark it “reuse existing” and Cooledge leaves it off the price and the parts list — so the quote reflects the real job.

  • Mark any grille or vent as reuse-existing
  • Excluded from the price automatically
  • Kept off the supplier parts list
  • “None (existing switch)” controller priced at $0

Supplier take-off built in

Every part on the canvas rolls into a supplier take-off with one click — grilles, fans, cowls and metres of flex ducting — ready to order without a second count.

  • One-click take-off from the plan
  • Full parts list with quantities
  • Duct metres tallied from the drawn runs
  • Nothing to re-key from the canvas

One upload surface for every system

Ventilation quoting works alongside ducted AC and VRV floor plan quoting. The same plan upload handles every system type, so your whole quoting workflow lives in one place.
