Software built for ventilation and subfloor specialists
Upload a plan and Cooledge finds the wet rooms, places the grilles, fans and ducting, then prices the whole job from your own catalogue. Bathroom and laundry exhaust, subfloor damp and mould work, all quoted, scheduled and invoiced from one tool.

From enquiry to paid invoice, in one tool
Here's how a ventilation job runs through Cooledge
The enquiry comes in
A homeowner calls about a mouldy bathroom ceiling or a damp smell under the house. The lead lands in Cooledge with their details captured once.
You get the plan
Upload the builder's PDF or a photo of the plan. Cooledge detects the rooms and highlights the wet rooms, the bathrooms, ensuites and laundries, in blue.
Auto Layout does the first pass
One click places an extraction grille in every wet room, adds the inline fans and flexible ducting and drops the exhaust point at the nearest external wall. Tweak anything on the canvas until it matches the job.
You price it from your catalogue
Pick the fan unit, controller and power supply. Your margin and base install are applied automatically and the totals are GST-inclusive, so the quote is ready to send in minutes.
The customer accepts online
They accept the quote in a tap. You create the job, book the install on the calendar and generate a supplier take-off for the parts.
Invoice and get paid
Invoice from the job, take payment and sync it all to your accounting package. Done.
Wet rooms found and the layout done for you
Upload the plan and Cooledge tints every bathroom, ensuite and laundry blue, so nothing gets missed. Auto Layout then places a grille in each wet room, sizes and routes the flexible ducting and drops the exhaust at the nearest external wall. The canvas stays fully editable, so you drag parts, draw duct runs and resize grilles until it matches the job.
- Wet rooms detected and tinted blue automatically
- Grilles, inline fans, ducting and the exhaust point auto-placed
- Flex ducting in 100mm, 125mm and 150mm
- Re-run Auto Layout any time for a clean starting point

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. Fans are 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
- Your margin and base install applied automatically
- Mark a grille or vent reuse-existing to leave it off the price
- GST-inclusive totals, ready to send
Subfloor damp and mould jobs too
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
One upload surface for every system
Ventilation quoting sits on the same floor plan engine as ducted AC and VRV quoting. If your business does A/C work as well as ventilation, the same plan upload handles every system type, so your whole quoting workflow lives in one place.
- Pick the quote type as a tile when you start
- PDF, PNG, JPEG and WebP plans, multi-page supported
- Ducted, VRV, ventilation and subfloor from one upload
- Design, catalogue and pricing tailored to the quote type
