Who uses KoberTag

Cabinetry & millwork

Cabinet designers, millwork shops, and custom furniture makers use KoberTag to turn their labeled CAD drawings into itemized estimates. Each cabinet, panel, or millwork component carries a code (BC36H85 for a base cabinet, WC2430 for a wall cabinet, CROWN-M for crown molding), and KoberTag prices them against the shop's private price list.

• —Typical codes: BC36H85 (base cabinet), WC2430 (wall cabinet), DOOR-MDF-24 (door), CROWN-M (molding)
• —Typical output: itemized estimate in USD with categories including cabinets, hardware, installation costs per cabinet type, and delivery
• —Typical time saved: hours of Excel copy-paste per project, reduced to seconds
• —Installation costs vary by cabinet type, complexity, and access. KoberTag lets you code these as separate line items so pricing reflects the real work

You know your business. You already know roughly what your cabinets cost. Use KoberTag as your first tool for fast, approximate estimates without having to draw everything in your production software. Let your designers work in the CAD they prefer, save time on early quotes and first client conversations, and move to production software like Mozaik only when the job is confirmed.

Most cabinet shops use the labeled drawings path. See labeled drawings ↓ below.

HVAC & mechanical

HVAC engineers and mechanical contractors use KoberTag to quantify ductwork, air handlers, diffusers, and mechanical fittings from their plans. Each component carries a code (HVAC-42 for a specific duct size, DIFF-24 for a diffuser, AHU-3T for an air handler), and KoberTag produces material reports, weight totals, or cost estimates depending on the mode.

• —Typical codes: HVAC-42 (duct), DIFF-24 (diffuser), AHU-3T (air handler), GRILLE-12 (return grille)
• —Typical output: material lists with quantities by category, or weight totals for structural load calculations
• —Common workflow: estimate for bid + weight report for structural engineering, both from the same drawing

HVAC drawings often come from Revit or AutoCAD with labeled blocks. See labeled drawings ↓ below.

Electrical & lighting design

Electrical engineers, lighting designers, and low-voltage contractors use KoberTag to quantify fixtures, outlets, switches, and control devices from their plans. Each element carries a code (LT-24W for a 24-watt fixture, OUT-DUP for a duplex outlet, SW-3W for a three-way switch), and KoberTag produces itemized estimates or fixture schedules ready to hand to the installer.

• —Typical codes: LT-24W (light fixture), OUT-DUP (outlet), SW-3W (switch), PANEL-100A (panel board)
• —Typical output: fixture schedules, itemized estimates, or count reports per room
• —Common workflow: one drawing produces both the client estimate and the installer's fixture schedule

Electrical layouts are commonly labeled in the CAD template. See labeled drawings ↓ below.

Retail & interior design

Retail designers, interior architects, and store planners use KoberTag to quantify furniture, fixtures, and finishes from their plans. Each item carries a code (e.g., SKU-CHAIR-05 for a specific chair, FIX-DISPLAY-A for a display fixture, or FLOOR-TILE-24 for a floor tile), and KoberTag produces client-ready estimates, purchase orders, or material takeoffs.

• —Typical codes: SKU-CHAIR-05 (furniture), FIX-DISPLAY-A (display fixture), FLOOR-TILE-24 (finish material)
• —Typical output: client estimate with photos, purchase order for suppliers, material takeoff for installers
• —Common workflow: one plan generates multiple documents for different audiences

Retail plans often include hand-drawn sketches during the concept phase. See Photos of hand-drawn sketches ↓ below.

Sustainability reporting & material assessments

Sustainability consultants, ESG reporters, and material assessment specialists use KoberTag to quantify materials and calculate weights, volumes, or embodied carbon values from architectural or engineering drawings. Each material carries a code (STL-BEAM-W12 for a steel beam, CONC-C35 for concrete class, ALU-CLAD for aluminum cladding), and KoberTag produces weighted reports, carbon inventories, or material breakdowns.

• —Typical codes: STL-BEAM-W12 (steel beam), CONC-C35 (concrete), ALU-CLAD (aluminum cladding), WOOD-HW (hardwood)
• —Typical output: weight reports in kg or tons, embodied carbon values in kgCO2e, or material breakdowns for LCA studies
• —Common workflow: same drawing, one consistent report generated for compliance filings

Sustainability workflows often start from block lists exported from BIM tools. See Block lists ↓ below.
