The Challenge
Before adopting Beam AI, Smith Fence relied heavily on manual takeoffs, which created several constraints:
- Time-intensive manual workload: Estimators were spending an additional 10–15 hours per week on takeoffs.
- Limited time for strategic tasks: Follow-ups with GCs and relationship-building efforts were often deprioritized since takeoffs took most of the time.
- Slower turnaround times: Manual processes extended the time required to move from drawings to finalized bids.
We’re not spending those extra 10–15 hours buried in takeoffs anymore; we can actually focus on following up and staying connected with our GCs.
