The Challenge
Corken Steel’s estimating process before adopting Beam AI faced a few key constraints:
- Time-intensive large takeoffs: Manually measuring bigger jobs could take an entire day or more, tying up valuable estimator time.
- Limited bandwidth: Large, repetitive drawings slowed down the team’s ability to work on other bids.
- Higher cognitive load: Estimators had less time to focus on complex plans requiring deeper analysis.
- Risk of missed details: Manual workflows increased the chances of overlooking key specifications and notes.
The Excel sheet created has been the highlight, it really helps organize our metal quotes.
