Why top contractors trust Beam AI over traditional masonry estimating software for takeoffs
How our AI-based material takeoff software works for masonry estimating software
Generate completely automated masonry takeoffs in 4 simple steps.
Upload your project plans in PDF format
Drop your architectural or structural drawings, including elevations, wall sections, and masonry schedules. Beam AI reads all sheets and callouts related to brick, block, and stonework automatically.
Confirm your scope of work
Your pre-aligned scope, including brick veneer and finish, stone veneer and finish,
CMU walls and columns, and masonry features. Review and confirm your scope or add project-specific notes before AI processing.
Let AI handle the takeoff
Beam AI extracts all masonry material quantities, including surface areas, linear feet, and unit counts for each masonry type. AI factors in notes and specs to do your takeoff.
Receive reviewed takeoffs in 24–72 hours
Every takeoff is QA-verified before delivery. You’ll receive a downloadable PDF, Excel file, and shareable view-only link. Excel outputs are formatted for easy integration with your masonry estimating software or masonry material calculator.
Manual takeoffs with your masonry estimating software is slowing you down
Manual masonry takeoffs are slow, repetitive, and prone to errors, limiting how many estimates your team can complete before bid deadlines.
Still spending hours counting blocks, bricks, and veneers?
Manually measuring masonry walls, veneers, and openings can consume 50–80% of your bid cycle, time that could be used for pricing analysis, coordination, or proposal preparation.
Losing bids to faster masonry teams?
When RFPs pile up, manual masonry estimating can’t keep up. That delay means missed deadlines and fewer awarded projects, especially when competitors use automated masonry estimating services to respond faster.
Your masonry estimating software powered by AI-based takeoffs
Automate masonry quantity takeoffs with Beam AI. Save hours, eliminate manual tracing, and streamline your masonry work estimate process, without changing how you price or manage labor.

FAQs
What is a masonry estimator?
A masonry estimator determines material quantities for brick, block, stone, and veneer work, accounting for openings, flashing, and finishes. They convert those quantities into costs to prepare accurate masonry work estimates for commercial projects.
What is masonry estimating software?
Masonry estimating software is a powerful tool that enables contractors and estimators to quickly and accurately calculate materials, labor, and project costs for masonry jobs. Utilizing digital blueprints, it automates material takeoffs for items like blocks, mortar, and rebar, significantly reducing manual errors and saving valuable time.
Is Beam AI a full masonry estimating software?
Beam AI automates the most time-intensive part of masonry estimating, material takeoffs. It doesn’t create full cost estimates but delivers structured quantities you can import into your preferred masonry estimating software or workflow.
How does Beam AI handle masonry estimating?
Beam AI reads your plan sheets and automatically extracts areas for veneers, walls, and finishes, including brick, block, stone, and CMU. Results are QA-reviewed and delivered in Excel format for use with masonry bidding software or masonry estimating services.
Can Beam AI replace my existing estimating software?
No. Beam AI complements your current tools by automating takeoffs. You can continue managing labor, pricing, and markups in your masonry estimating software or construction estimating system.
What kind of file do I receive after a masonry takeoff?
You’ll receive a structured Excel sheet with:
- Brick and stone veneer quantities (SF)
- CMU wall and column quantities (SF or count)
- Headers, sills, flashing, and caps (LF)
- Deductions for openings and veneer finishes
These can be imported directly into your masonry estimate template or used as a masonry estimate example for future bids.
How fast are AI takeoffs compared to manual estimating?
Beam AI delivers QA-reviewed masonry takeoffs fully automated,, saving up to 90% of your manual takeoff time. Outputs are ready for using with your masonry estimating and takeoff software or quantity estimating workflows to quickly prepare estimates & send more bids out the door.
Can Beam AI read blueprint drawings directly?
Yes. Beam AI functions like a blueprint estimating software, it scans your PDF drawings and extracts masonry quantities automatically, no manual tracing needed.
What makes Beam AI different from other masonry estimating tools?
Beam AI combines AI automation with human QA verification, providing accurate, ready-to-price data. It saves your team hours on every masonry estimate example while maintaining precision across multiple wall types and finishes.
How to do a masonry estimate?
Traditionally, masonry estimates involve reviewing drawings, calculating wall areas, deducting openings, and applying unit costs for each material. With Beam AI, those steps are automated, the software reads your blueprints, calculates material quantities, and gives you organized outputs to finalize costs quickly.
