The Challenge

Before adopting Beam AI, Guardian faced significant time and efficiency constraints in their estimating process. Takeoffs consumed over 25 hours each week, limiting availability for critical tasks like team oversight and strategic planning. The team relied on manual and semi-manual tools such as ProEst and Autodesk Takeoff, which demanded time-intensive engagement.

This heavy workload left little room for high-impact activities like jobsite visits, team training, and meaningful client conversations. Additionally, bid turnaround was often delayed, especially when waiting for final addenda, due to the high volume of manual work involved. See how adopting Beam AI helped them reduce bid turnaround and handle more projects.

I used to spend 25 hours a week on takeoffs, now it's just 5. Beam AI has freed up enough time that I could potentially handle 800 projects a year instead of 400, without hiring another estimator.
