Confirm your scope of work

Your pre-aligned scope includes standard flooring estimating categories, vinyl, carpet, wood, terrazzo, and rubber. It also captures substrate prep (leveling compounds), transitions, thresholds, and baseboards. Review, confirm, or add project-specific notes to ensure takeoffs match your workflow before AI processing.

Beam AI

Let AI handle the takeoff

Beam AI extracts all relevant flooring quantities, surface areas by material type, subfloor preparation, and accessories. Get quantities that plug directly into your flooring estimating software or blueprint estimating system.

Manual takeoffs with your flooring estimating software cost you time & accuracy

Manual flooring takeoffs are slow, error-prone, and eat into your ability to quote and win more projects.

Beam AI

Still spending hours tracing rooms and flooring zones?

Flooring takeoffs can consume 50–80% of your bid cycle time that could be spent on pricing optimization, vendor coordination, or preparing more bids.

Beam AI

Losing bids to faster flooring teams?

When RFPs pile up, manual flooring estimating slows you down. Counting room areas, transitions, and baseboards across multiple sheets limits your capacity to bid competitively.

Your flooring estimating software backed by AI-based takeoffs

Let AI fully automate material takeoffs, save time, and streamline your flooring estimating software workflow without changing how you price or manage labor.

Save 90% of your time on flooring takeoffs

Beam AI automatically calculates flooring areas and materials, carpet, vinyl, wood, terrazzo, or rubber — directly from your blueprint plans. Get QA-reviewed takeoffs in 24–72 hours, ready to import into your preferred AI estimating or construction estimating software.

Bid 2X more flooring jobs without increasing headcount

With Beam AI managing the heavy lifting, your team can quote more jobs every week. Focus on pricing accuracy, vendor sourcing, and project management, not hours of manual plan tracing.

FAQs

What is a flooring estimator?

Chevron down blue

A flooring estimator determines how much flooring material is needed for a space, calculating surface area, waste factors, transitions, baseboards, and substrate prep, and uses those quantities to project cost and material requirements. Their work often becomes the foundation for accurate flooring takeoff estimating.

What is flooring estimating software?

Chevron down blue

Flooring estimating software is a specialized digital tool that helps flooring professionals accurately plan materials, labor, and total project costs. It streamlines estimating by using digital measurements and automated material takeoffs to handle complex layouts, stairs, transitions, and waste factors with far less manual calculation. 

Is Beam AI a full flooring estimating software?

Chevron down blue

Beam AI automates the most laborious part of flooring estimation,  material takeoffs. It does not generate full estimates. What you get are structured quantities ready to be used in your preferred flooring estimating software or estimating workflow.

How does Beam AI handle flooring estimating?

Chevron down blue

Beam AI reads your floor plans and automatically measures areas by flooring type (carpet, vinyl, wood, terrazzo, etc.), including substrate prep, transitions, and baseboards. The output is QA-reviewed and delivered as a structured Excel file, ready for use in your material estimating software or estimation workflow.

Can Beam AI replace my existing estimating software?

Chevron down blue

No, Beam AI is not a full estimating tool. Instead, it complements your current tools: it does the takeoffs so you can continue doing pricing, labor, profit, and proposals in your existing construction estimating software or estimating system.

What kind of file do I receive after a flooring takeoff?

Chevron down blue

You’ll receive a structured Excel sheet containing:

  • Line items by flooring type (e.g., vinyl, carpet, wood)
  • Measured areas (sq ft, sq yd)
  • Substrate prep & leveling comps
  • Baseboards, transition strips, accessories
  • Notes/callouts for special conditions

You can import or copy these quantities into your estimating software to build out full cost estimates.

How fast are AI takeoffs compared to manual estimating?

Chevron down blue

Beam AI delivers QA-reviewed flooring takeoffs in 24–72 hours, saving up to 90% of the time that you'd otherwise spend manually tracing plans and counting areas across sheets.

Can Beam AI read blueprint drawings directly?

Chevron down blue

Yes. Beam AI functions similarly to blueprint estimating software, it reads PDF drawings and extracts accurate material quantities for flooring, substrates, and related components without you having to trace or manually measure.

What makes Beam AI different from other flooring estimating tools?

Chevron down blue

Beam AI combines AI-driven automation with QA review, giving you fast, accurate, ready-to-use outputs. You won’t have to click through every room, the software produces clean quantities you can drop into your estimating workflow.
