Cuts Takeoff Time by ~80% and Increases Business Growth by ~40%

Before adopting Beam AI, G.W. Thiel’s estimating team handled all takeoffs internally using ProContractor. While effective, the manual process created several bottlenecks:

• Time-intensive takeoffs: Estimators spent 3–5 days completing a single bid, depending on project size.
• Limited bid capacity: High volumes of incoming ITBs made it difficult to keep up with demand.
• Revenue loss risk: The team never wanted to turn away customers but often lacked the bandwidth to pursue every opportunity.
• Frequent workflow interruptions: Handling addenda and revisions required estimators to stop active work and revisit completed takeoffs.
• Pressure on turnaround times: Slow takeoff processes reduced the team’s ability to respond quickly to customers.
