Frequently asked questions
1. What exactly is BeamGPT?
BeamGPT is your AI assistant for reading PDF plans and extracting insights. It helps you find specs, scopes, notes, and key details, so you don’t have to flip through hundreds of sheets manually.
2. What kind of questions can I ask BeamGPT?
You can ask about scope requirements, spec details, plan notes, occupancy data, and more.
Examples:
● “What are the signage requirements?”
● “Which rooms have the highest occupancy load?”
● “What grade of steel is used for beams?”
● “Which pages include structural wall sections?”
3. Does BeamGPT understand plan context?
Yes. BeamGPT is trained on construction plan structures and layout. It reads across sheets, understands where things are located, and connects related info, even if it’s spread across the document.
4. Is BeamGPT just a keyword search tool like Ctrl+F?
No. Ctrl+F only works if you know the exact term. BeamGPT understands context and synonyms. It can summarize notes, explain spec details, or pull grouped insights, even if the exact wording varies.
5. How is this different from a regular takeoff tool?
BeamGPT isn’t for drawing or measuring, it’s for asking questions and getting insights.
6. Can I copy answers into my estimating documents?
Yes. Every answer from BeamGPT is copy-friendly. Use them directly in your takeoff notes or RFQs.
7. What types of contractors use BeamGPT?
GCs, civil contractors, MEPs, specialty subs, anyone who needs to understand and estimate from complex plan sets faster and more accurately.
8. Do I need to upload plans separately to use BeamGPT?
No extra step. If you're using Beam AI for takeoffs, BeamGPT can answer questions based on the same plan set. Just ask.
9. Is there training required?
No training needed. BeamGPT works just like chat, you type a question, it gives you an answer. It’s designed to be simple from the start.
