Your current cloud-based takeoff software is costing you Time and Money. Reclaim both with Beam AI.

Half of your time is spent on doing takeoffs manually:

Disconnected tools slow down teams

Passing files back and forth, chasing the latest plan version, and manually updating takeoffs after addenda wastes time. Without a cloud-based platform, estimators spend more effort managing files than producing accurate bids.

Beam AI

Outdated takeoff processes limit growth

Manual takeoff methods cap the number of jobs your team can realistically bid on. The result? Missed opportunities, reduced margins, and a bidding process that can’t scale with your business.
