Why top contractors trust Beam AI over traditional concrete estimating software for takeoffs
How our AI-based material takeoff software works for HVAC estimating
Generate accurate HVAC and mechanical takeoffs in 4 simple steps.
Upload your project plans in PDF format
Drop your mechanical, HVAC, or MEP drawings, including duct layouts, piping schematics, and equipment schedules. Beam AI reads all mechanical-related sheets and specifications automatically.
Confirm your scope of work
Your pre-aligned scope includes standard HVAC estimating categories, ductwork, air terminals, chillers, piping, and accessories. Review, confirm, or add project-specific notes to ensure takeoffs fit your workflow before AI processing.
Let AI handle the takeoff
Our AI engine extracts all relevant HVAC and mechanical quantities, lengths, counts, diameters, and areas, straight from your uploaded plans. Get material quantities ready to plug into your HVAC estimating software or blueprint estimating system.
Receive reviewed takeoffs in 24–36 hours
Every takeoff is QA-verified before delivery. You’ll receive a downloadable PDF, Excel file, and shareable view-only link, compatible with leading material and quantity estimating software workflows.
Manual takeoffs in your mechanical estimating process cost you time & money
Manual HVAC /mechanical takeoffs slow down your bid cycle, reduce accuracy, and limit how many projects you can quote each week.
Still spending hours tracing ducts and counting diffusers?
Mechanical takeoffs often eat up 50–80% of your bid cycle time that could be spent refining proposals, coordinating with vendors, or adjusting pricing to stay competitive.
Losing bids to faster estimating teams?
When RFPs stack up, manual takeoffs for ductwork, equipment, and fittings can delay bids. That bottleneck in your mechanical estimating process means missed opportunities and longer turnaround times.
Future-ready HVAC estimating software powered by AI-based takeoffs
Automate HVAC and mechanical material takeoffs, save time, and speed up your construction estimating software workflow, all without changing your pricing or labor process.
Save 90% of your time on mechanical takeoffs
Beam AI automatically quantifies HVAC components like air handlers, diffusers, duct runs, and fittings from your blueprint plans. Get QA-reviewed takeoffs in 24–36 hours, ready to upload into your preferred construction estimating or AI estimating software.
Bid 2X more jobs without adding more estimators
With Beam AI handling the repetitive work, your team can increase their weekly bid throughput in less time. Focus on vendor coordination, pricing accuracy, and system design, not clicking through drawings.

FAQs
Is Beam AI a full HVAC estimating software?
Beam AI automates HVAC and mechanical material takeoffs, the most time-consuming part of estimating. It’s not a full estimating platform but integrates seamlessly with your preferred construction estimating workflow.
How does Beam AI handle mechanical estimating?
Beam AI automatically detects and measures duct runs, air devices, piping, and HVAC equipment from your blueprints. Results are QA-reviewed and delivered in organized Excel files, ready to price in your HVAC estimating software.
Can Beam AI replace my existing estimating software?
No. Beam AI works alongside your AI estimating software or construction estimating system, handling takeoffs while you continue managing labor, pricing, and proposals in your current workflow.
What kind of file do I receive after an HVAC or mechanical takeoff?
You’ll receive a structured Excel sheet with:
- Line items for ducts, fittings, terminals, AHUs, and piping.
- Measured quantities by length, diameter, or count.
- System-level organization (e.g., supply air, return air, exhaust).
- Notes and callouts for quick verification against plans.
You can plug this file directly into your estimating software to finalize pricing.
How fast are AI takeoffs compared to manual estimating?
Beam AI delivers QA-reviewed HVAC takeoffs in 24–36 hours, saving up to 90% of the time compared to manual takeoffs, when you spend 3-4 hours/sheet as you trace plansets with 50-100 sheets.
Can Beam AI read blueprint drawings directly?
Yes. Beam AI functions as a blueprint estimating software for material takeoffs, reading PDF plans, and extracting quantities for HVAC, piping, and mechanical systems automatically.
What makes Beam AI different from other HVAC estimating tools?
Beam AI blends AI automation with QA verification, giving you accuracy and speed without endless clicking or tracing. Estimators get clean, ready-to-price outputs that plug right into existing workflows.
