AI-powered estimating and takeoff software for HVAC
About Rebar
Rebar is a technology company that has developed a vertical AI platform designed as a core operating system for the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) industry. Founded in October 2024 by CEO Evan Brown and Andrew Schwartz, the New York-based firm aims to modernize the sales cycle in the construction trades. Brown's background includes a degree in mechanical engineering and years of experience as an estimator and sales engineer, where he dealt directly with the manual, time-consuming quoting processes the company now seeks to automate.
Read full description
The company's core product is an AI-powered estimating and takeoff software that automates the analysis of construction documents like blueprints and specification books. Using proprietary computer vision and vision-language models trained on millions of HVAC-specific blueprints, the platform can identify, categorize, and count equipment and components directly from plans. This automation reduces a process that traditionally takes hours or days down to minutes, allowing contractors and distributors to generate quotes and a bill of materials with greater speed and accuracy. Key features include AI Equipment Marking, Automatic Room Search, and AI Addendum Change Summary. By enabling users to submit more bids at a lower cost, Rebar helps them increase their project win rates, with some customers reporting a 2x to 3x increase.
Rebar operates on a usage-based subscription model. In March 2026, the company announced it had closed a $14 million Series A financing round led by Prudence, an early-stage venture firm. Other participants in the round included Zero Infinity Partners, Founder Collective, Villain Capital, and Optimist Ventures. The new capital is intended to fuel the expansion of its operating system, develop additional solutions, and move into adjacent verticals such as the electrical and plumbing industries, as well as expand geographically.
