The Challenge
Before adopting Beam AI, the firm relied on Bluebeam for manual takeoffs, a process that often took 3–8 hours for smaller jobs and up to two weeks for larger ones.
This time-intensive workflow limited their ability to quote new projects and kept estimators tied to their desks instead of focusing on higher-value tasks like vendor coordination or bid refinement. With constant plan revisions and occasional rework, turnaround times stretched even further, slowing growth and reducing bidding efficiency.
Looking ahead, we expect to chase bigger projects with Beam AI as our estimation bandwidth and capacity to take on more work have gone up.
