Drawing + ACCA Manual D
Duct layout guidance can only realistically be developed after a floor plan is provided.
... 3-Ton is ~ 1,200 CFM,
... FOR A STARTer :
... AHU outlet duct should be ~1.5 Sq. Feet
... 12" x 18" hard duct at least 6 feet long
Any branches sizing is guessing.
... 800 CFM = 1.0 Sq. Foot ( 12"*12" or 14" diameter )
... 600 CFM = 0.8 Sq. Foot ( 10"*12" or 12" diameter )
Add up all the dP's for straight runs, fittings, outlets on each flow path to assure you have met ACCA Manual D criteria and AHU fan capability.

O.K., minimal charge for 1,400 Sq. Feet depending on extent of details needed and permitting documentation required.
