Challenges Before Beam AI
Before using Beam AI, Merritt Construction faced various challenges in its takeoff process:
- They used to take off material quantities manually, which required a lot of human intervention.
- Manual takeoffs slowed down the bid turnaround time, impacting the number of bids sent.
“With Beam AI, we are able to improve bid turnaround time and save hours on doing takeoff revisions.”
