Increased bid volume 5X and saved 60 hours weekly

Before Beam AI, Big D Paving had just one estimator handling all bids, spending nearly 25 hours a week on manual takeoffs using AGTEK. This manual process slowed down bid output, made it difficult to scale, and left little time for high-value tasks like supplier coordination, pricing strategy, and site visits.

Estimating had become the bottleneck for growth and hence the team needed a way to multiply their bid volume without adding headcount or sacrificing accuracy.
