Cuts Takeoff Time by ~85% and Increases Bid Volume

Before Beam AI, the estimating process at Parrent’s Painting relied heavily on manual takeoffs using Bluebeam and traditional workflows.

Estimators spent nearly 70% of their time completing takeoffs, leaving limited bandwidth for bid strategy, project review, and pursuing additional opportunities. Handling addenda and post-bid revisions added another layer of manual work.

As bid opportunities increased, the team needed a faster and more scalable approach to estimating without adding headcount.
