The Challenge
Before adopting Beam AI, the firm was using STACK for takeoffs. Typical challenges in the bid process looked like:
- Manual takeoffs took 45–60 hours per project; as a result, only 4–8 proposals were submitted monthly.
- Significant material waste led to extra labor, fuel, and transportation costs, and hence reduced margins.
- Estimators were burdened with takeoffs, with limited focus on strategic tasks.
- Win rate of around 5-10% due to effort-heavy process.
I'm used to not doing a takeoff right now. I've already forgotten what it was like to sit in front of a computer for a week. I don't know if I could go back to doing manual takeoffs.
