Manifold for HVAC · Equipment Surveys · Inspections
Walk a rooftop unit or mechanical space once. Get a 3D model, dimensioned layout, and GPS-tagged photo documentation. Every measurement and photo lives in the job record forever.
Built for HVAC crews
HVAC field work is documentation-heavy: equipment surveys, commissioning reports, service photos, warranty records. Most of it still happens on a clipboard that ends up illegible or lost. Manifold puts all of it in one place, GPS-tagged and searchable, accessible from any device.
📸
Every photo auto-tagged with GPS, timestamp, and crew member. Automatically organised by job. No manual sorting. Share the whole photo set with a single link.
📱
Walk around each unit with your phone for 10–60 seconds. Orbit Measure works on any iOS or Android phone — no LiDAR required. Get a 3D model and measurements. Pull dimensions from your desk when quoting replacements.

Build your commissioning template once. Require photos for critical items. Export a branded PDF with every item, photo, GPS location, and timestamp. Works fully offline.

“We had 10 rooftop units to survey for replacements. It started to rain and my clipboard was bleeding. So I used Manifold, walked around every unit and got everything I needed. I had measured the first one by hand — it was exactly correct. I am at the point of trusting the accuracy of it.”

Who we are
We built this for the contractor who carries their own phone, runs their own crew, and doesn’t have a software budget.
Everyone told us to jack up our prices. We didn’t — because we know what the bottom line means to the people we’re building for. Manifold has been running for 11 years and the platform has held up. We answer our own tickets. We’re not planning to change any of that.
