Increased bids 5X and won 40% more jobs

Before Beam AI, the firm relied on STACK for takeoffs—a process that consumed 45–60 hours per project. With so much time spent on manual work, they could only push out 4–8 proposals a month. The heavy workload also led to material waste, adding labor, fuel, and transportation costs that cut into margins.

Estimators were stuck in spreadsheets instead of focusing on strategy, and despite the effort, win rates hovered around just 5–10%. For a lean team, the barrier wasn’t opportunity—it was bandwidth. They needed a faster, more efficient way to scale bids without burning out their estimators or sacrificing profitability.
