QuickPlumb

Drainage and vent drawings for plumbing designers

QuickPlumb is computer-aided design software that plumbing professionals use to produce and pass around drawings of drain and vent pipework. It is made by Epiphany Software Corporation, which says its founders came from plumbing design and still work closely with plumbing contractors, so they know the problems faced in the field and in the office.

Drawing and layout

Pipes connect to fixtures automatically, and fixture and pipe locations can be adjusted visually. Users can import graphics for easy reference and get fixture drain locations measured from the edge of forms, which is the sort of detail needed for stub-up positions. Water distribution pipes can be sized in the same program.

From drawing to order

QuickPlumb generates a bill of materials and a pipe cut list intended to minimize waste. Lists can be uploaded to receive instant quotes and place orders, which supports accurate material orders. The current version is described as Pro 5.0, and a 30 day free trial is offered.

The company's view

The company says many of its staff have plumbing design backgrounds and that it aims to provide the most complete software tools available, so that contractors can offer the best product to their own customers as efficiently as possible.
