Cuts Takeoff Time by ~50% and Generates Additional $250K Revenue

Before adopting Beam AI, Southern Illinois Piping relied on manual takeoffs within the Procore estimating system. While effective, the process created several challenges:

• Time-intensive takeoffs: Manual takeoffs typically required 10-16 hours per project.
• Missed bid opportunities: Lengthy takeoff timelines sometimes made it difficult to meet bid deadlines.
• Limited estimating capacity: Significant estimator time was tied up in quantity takeoffs rather than pursuing additional work.
• Addenda management challenges: Tracking revisions across multiple plan updates was time-consuming and difficult to manage.
• Manual review burden: Identifying specification details and keyed notes required extensive document review.
