100% Automated Takeoffs: Beam AI Outperforms DESTINI Estimator Every Time

Beam AI is a fully automated takeoff solution that delivers quantity takeoffs across 15+ trades with ±1% in-house accuracy, within 24–72 hours. Every takeoff is reviewed by a professional estimator, so users don’t need to perform manual edits or quality checks.

In contrast, Beck Technologies' DESTINI Estimator is a semi-automated platform primarily for manual takeoffs. It only supports a limited number of trades and still requires the estimator to perform the final quality checks and configuration manually.
