The Challenge

At Tactical Constructions Inc., takeoffs were a manual grind. The team relied on tools like Procore, but the process still consumed nearly half of the estimator’s time, leaving little room for high-impact work. The process was so time-consuming that it was forcing the team to skip high-potential projects entirely.

‍

Even when they powered through, the risks were high. Important details buried in spec sheets or keyed notes were often easy to miss, especially with plan updates arriving late. And as timelines tightened, manual takeoffs slowed them down further, making it harder to bid quickly and win. Explore how switching to AI-based automated takeoffs helped Tactical Construction boost bid capacity without increasing headcount.

Before Beam AI, manual takeoffs took up too much time. Now, we’re sending up to 5 bids a week, have taken on larger projects, and even repurposed an estimator to focus on inventory and purchasing.
