The hidden cost of manual takeoffs in your framing estimating workflow
Spending countless hours on taking off quantities?
Manual takeoffs can devour nearly half your bid cycle. That’s time you could invest in refining estimates, nurturing client relationships, or pursuing new projects.
Missing out on top-dollar opportunities?
Estimators often juggle multiple RFPs. A slow bidding process can lead to missed deadlines or passing up opportunities. Don’t let limited bandwidth hold you back from winning new business.

Frequently asked questions
What is lumber estimating software?
Lumber or Framing estimating software helps contractors create detailed project estimates by calculating costs for materials, labor, and overheads. However, most solutions still rely on manual takeoffs to determine lumber quantities. Beam AI automates that step, delivering precise data you can feed directly into your existing workflow.
What is the best lumber/framing estimating software?
The best software should streamline your entire estimating process, from takeoffs to final bids. While Beam AI complements any lumber or framing estimating software by automating the most time-consuming stage—takeoffs—allowing you to produce bids faster and with greater accuracy.
Does Beam AI automate lumber estimating?
Yes. Beam AI focuses on automating the initial, labor-intensive phase of lumber estimating: the takeoffs. It calculates everything from studs to joists with pinpoint accuracy. We enhance your current estimating software, so you can finalize estimates in half the time without sacrificing quality.
