Why top contractors trust Beam AI over traditional plumbing estimating software for takeoffs
How AI-based material takeoff software works for plumbing estimating software
Generate completely automated plumbing takeoffs in 4 simple steps.
Upload your project plans in PDF format
Drop your mechanical or plumbing plan sheets. Beam AI reads piping networks, fixtures, and equipment schedules automatically.
Confirm your scope of work
Review your pre-aligned scope, including piping systems, fittings, risers, fixtures, equipment, and more. You can add project-specific notes before AI processing.
Let AI handle the takeoff
Beam AI extracts pipe lengths and diameters, fitting counts, fixture quantities and specs, along with equipment counts, capacities, and tags while auto-reading specs and notes.
Receive reviewed takeoffs in 24–72 hours
Every plumbing takeoff is QA-verified before delivery. You’ll receive a PDF, Excel sheet, and shareable view-only link. Excel outputs are ready for use in your plumbing estimating software or estimating template.
Manual takeoffs with your plumbing estimating software slow you down
Manual plumbing takeoffs take too long and leave room for error, costing your team valuable hours and limiting how many bids you can submit.
Still spending hours tracing pipes and counting fittings?
Manually measuring sanitary, storm, or domestic water pipes across multiple sheets can consume 50–80% of your bid cycle, leaving less time for pricing, coordination, or proposal prep
Losing bids because your estimating process can’t scale?
When projects stack up, manual plumbing takeoffs for pipes, fittings, risers, and fixtures can’t keep up. Contractors using AI-powered plumbing estimating software can turn around more accurate bids in less time.
Your plumbing estimating software powered by AI-based takeoffs
Automate pipe and fixture takeoffs with Beam AI. Save time, eliminate manual tracing, and streamline your plumbing work estimate workflow.
Save 90% of your time on plumbing takeoffs
Beam AI automatically measures pipe runs, risers, fittings, fixtures, and equipment directly from your drawings. Get QA-reviewed takeoffs in 24–72 hours, ready to import into your preferred plumbing estimating software or construction estimating workflow.
Bid 2X more plumbing jobs with the same team
With Beam AI doing the measurement, your estimators can maximize opportunity pipeline by responding to more RFQs. You can focus on pricing accuracy, vendor coordination, and bid strategy, instead of manual plan tracing.

FAQs
What is a plumbing estimator?
A plumbing estimator determines quantities for piping, fittings, fixtures, and equipment used in plumbing systems. They use this data to prepare accurate plumbing estimates for commercial and industrial projects. Many estimators pair this work with plumbing estimation software to speed up measurement and reduce manual errors.
What is a plumbing estimating software?
Plumbing estimating software is a digital solution that enables plumbing businesses to accurately calculate project costs by automating material, labor, equipment, and overhead estimations. These programs streamline the bidding process through features such as digital takeoffs from blueprints, integrated price databases, and automated calculations, boosting accuracy, efficiency, and profitability. This category includes estimating software for plumbing, as well as estimating software for plumbing and heating for contractors handling HVAC scopes too.
Is Beam AI a full plumbing estimating software?
Beam AI automates the takeoff process, the most time-consuming part of estimating plumbing work. It doesn’t build full cost estimates but provides structured, system-tagged quantities ready to import into your preferred plumbing estimating software or workflow.
How does Beam AI handle plumbing estimating?
Beam AI reads your plan sheets and schedules, extracts all pipe lengths, fittings, risers, fixtures, and equipment, and categorizes them by system (sanitary, storm, domestic, gas). QA-reviewed results arrive in Excel, ready for your plumbing estimate spreadsheet or bidding software.
Can Beam AI replace my existing estimating software?
No. Beam AI complements your current tools by automating takeoffs while you continue managing pricing and labor within your plumbing estimating software or project management system.
What kind of file do I receive after a plumbing takeoff?
You’ll receive a structured Excel sheet with:
- Pipe lengths by system (LF)
- Fitting counts (elbows, tees, reducers, valves)
- Fixture and equipment counts with tags and specs
- System-wise tagging for sanitary, storm, domestic, and gas
These can be imported directly into your plumbing estimate template or Excel-based plumbing estimating tool.
How fast are AI takeoffs compared to manual estimating?
Beam AI delivers QA-reviewed takeoffs, saving up to 9 % of your manual takeoff time and helping you quote more jobs each week.
Can Beam AI read blueprint drawings directly?
Yes. Beam AI functions like a blueprint estimating software for plumbing, it reads piping layouts, risers, and schedules directly from PDFs without manual tracing.
What makes Beam AI different from other plumbing estimating tools?
Beam AI combines AI automation and human QA to deliver highly accurate, system-tagged quantities for all plumbing materials. It eliminates repetitive counting and lets your estimators focus on pricing strategy and project management.
What is the best plumbing estimating software?
The best plumbing estimating software depends on your workflow and integration needs. Beam AI’s outputs plug seamlessly into any estimating stack by automating the measurement process, making it ideal for contractors looking to scale without adding headcount.
How to estimate plumbing work?
Traditionally, plumbing estimation involves measuring pipe lengths, fittings, risers, and fixtures manually. With Beam AI, this process is fully automated, AI reads drawings, calculates material quantities, and delivers ready-to-use Excel outputs for quick cost estimation.
