The Challenge
Before adopting Beam AI, Ayers Mechanical relied entirely on manual takeoffs using pen and paper, making the process time-consuming and difficult to scale. Large projects could take up to two weeks to complete, limiting the number of bids the team could pursue and putting pressure on tight submission timelines.
Because estimating capacity was closely tied to available manpower, increasing output required additional hiring. A significant portion of time was spent on manual execution rather than refining estimates or improving bid strategy, making it difficult to respond to fast-moving opportunities or take on more work.
Time saved is going into estimating more jobs. Our goal is to do 2x the takeoffs with the same team in place, with Beam AI.
