The Challenge
Before adopting Beam AI, the firm was using Bluebeam for takeoffs. Their typical challenges in the bid process looked like:
- Typical takeoffs took between 3–8 hours, with large jobs requiring up to 2 weeks to complete.
- Limited capacity to quote new projects due to the time-intensive nature of takeoffs.
- Estimators were overburdened, balancing manual takeoffs with vendor communications and bid refinement.
- Estimating processes required occasional rework.
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.
