AI-powered, user-friendly, and cloud-based takeoff software for construction. Saves 90% of time on takeoffs and enables processing of 30% more estimates.
Beam AI Product Information
Beam AI – AI-Based Construction Takeoff Software is an AI-powered preconstruction tool designed to automate and accelerate quantity takeoffs across multiple trades for General Contractors, Suppliers/Distributors, and Subcontractors. It emphasizes time savings, bid velocity, and improved accuracy by handling repetitive takeoff tasks and enabling users to bid on more projects without increasing overhead.
How it works
- Upload site plans (PDF). Import plan sets to define the project scope.
- Define scope of work. Specify the trades and boundaries for the takeoff.
- AI generate takeoffs. Beam AI extracts quantities and key metrics from the plans automatically.
- Expert review & delivery. A professional estimator reviews the AI results and delivers the final takeoff within 1–3 days.
This process helps teams reclaim significant time, allowing focus on refining estimates, pricing strategies, and value engineering instead of manual measurements.
