The Challenge
Before adopting Beam AI, Ace Rebar relied on a mix of aSa software and manual takeoffs for estimating; this created several bottlenecks:
- Large rebar packages often took 7–10 days to complete, putting pressure on bid timelines.
- Estimates frequently arrived late in the process, leaving limited time to review quantities and validate accuracy.
- Manual workflows increased the chances of missed specifications and keyed notes within plan sets.
- Managing addenda and plan changes added rework and slowed overall bid turnaround.
- Tight turnaround requests were often hard to accommodate due to lengthy takeoff timelines.
Beam AI gives us the takeoff quickly, so we move into the estimating process earlier. This gives us the time we did not have earlier, to review in-depth and catch errors before submission.
