About MGT Enterprises
MGT Enterprises is an HVAC contractor specializing in the installation, maintenance, and repair of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
Challenges Before Beam AI
Before adopting Beam AI, MGT Enterprises faced several roadblocks in their takeoff and estimating workflows:
- Existing takeoff tools like Togal.AI didn’t produce complete takeoffs, forcing teams to still do manual work.
- Time spent on takeoffs pulled estimators away from sales and other high-impact tasks.
- Bid volume was limited, especially for GC-scope projects, where they could only manage 1–2 per week.
- Remodel jobs presented additional complexity due to incomplete or unclear plans.
“We’re doing 3 to 4x more bids than before. That alone makes Beam AI worth it.”

Breaking Down Key Wins
Since integrating Beam AI into their preconstruction process, MGT Enterprises has seen measurable gains:
- 70% Time Saved on Takeoffs: Freed up significant hours previously spent on manual work.
- Doubled Bid Output on GC Projects: From 1–2 bids weekly to 4–5 mid-sized GC project bids per week.
- Greater Accuracy: Especially for new builds, Beam AI’s auto-detection of spec notes has improved bid precision.
- Improved Turnaround: Faster estimating has allowed MGT to chase more opportunities.
Business Impact
- Increased weekly bid volume, especially on GC scopes.
- Reduced turnaround time to respond faster to opportunities.
- Reinvested saved time into sales, follow-ups, and business development.
- Witnessed a clear uptick in business growth, with revenue expected to have increased.
“With Beam AI, we’re saving about 70% of the time we used to spend on takeoffs. That extra time is now going toward sales follow-ups and other key priorities. It has helped us pursue more work without growing the team.”
