Our Founding Story

In 2016, Shiva Dhawan and a few friends from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi envisioned a future shaped by artificial intelligence. They saw AI-powered solutions simplifying complex challenges and, driven by this vision, launched Attentive.ai. Initially, the focus was on serving field services businesses in the US.‍

As our expertise in AI solutions grew, we identified a significant gap in the construction industry, particularly in the preconstruction phase. Despite technological advancements, estimating teams still relied on manual software for takeoffs. To address this, we launched Beam AI in 2020—a revolutionary, fully automated AI takeoff software designed to transform the construction industry.

Beam AI solves the problems associated with manual takeoffs by combining artificial intelligence with human oversight. The AI handles the takeoff process, delivering super accurate results that align with your specified scope. This approach saves time and effort, enhancing efficiency and reliability.
