Estimating Software for Plumbing, Mechanical, HVAC & Sheet Metal Contractors

FastEST, Inc. Announces FastDUCT

(Wichita, KS, 5/1/2006) -FastEST, Inc. announces the upcoming release of the FastDUCT Sheet Metal Estimating system. FastDUCT incorporates many of the outstanding features of the FastPIPE Mechanical Estimating system and operates either in conjunction with or separate from the piping estimating program. An extensive database of sheet metal, rough material, and manufactured items will provide the user everything he needs to estimate the fabrication and installation costs of HVAC and industrial ductwork.

FastDUCT incorporates the familiar FastPIPE "look-and-feel" and supports rectangular, round and oval sheet metal items, as well as hangers, joint materials, specialties, and equipment. Customizable Specs allow companies to set up the system to coincide with their own duct construction methods and includes liner, insulation, stiffeners, tie-rods, sealer, and turning vanes. Calculations and reports are easily generated and easy to understand. And job information can be downloaded into Microsoft Excel.

FastEST, Inc. will offer the same great training, support, and upgrade service for FastDUCT that we include with FastPIPE.

FastDUCT will be released for General Availability in the summer of 2006. For additional information, please call 800-828-7108.
