Upload your architectural and roofing plans, including roof plans, detail sheets, and schedules. Beam AI identifies all roofing-related sheets, including slope, insulation, and flashing details.
Confirm your scope of work
Your pre-aligned scope covers key roofing estimation items such as, roof membranes, underlayment and barriers, flashing and edge metal, drainage and protection, sealants and waterproofing. Review and confirm your project-specific scope before AI processing.
Let AI handle the takeoff
Beam AI extracts roof areas, insulation layers, flashing lengths, and accessory quantities directly from the plans. You’ll get clean, organized outputs that work seamlessly with your commercial roofing estimating software or roofing estimate templates.
Receive reviewed takeoffs in 24–72 hours
Every roofing takeoff is QA-verified before delivery. You’ll receive a downloadable PDF, Excel file, and shareable view-only link. Outputs easy to use with leading roofing estimating services and quantity estimating software.
Manual takeoffs with roofing estimating software cost you bidding opportunities
Manual roofing takeoffs are time-consuming, repetitive, and prone to human error, slowing down your estimating process and limiting how many bids your team can submit.
Still spending hours tracing roof areas and calculating materials?
Manual roofing estimation can consume 50–80% of your bid cycle, time that could be used for vendor coordination, pricing analysis, or preparing more proposals.
Losing bids to faster commercial roofing teams?
When RFPs stack up, manual roof quantity takeoffs delay submissions. With deadlines tightening, even small errors in area or flashing counts can throw off your commercial roofing estimates.
Your roofing estimating software powered by AI-based takeoffs
Automate roofing takeoffs for flat, low-slope, and steep-slope systems with AI. Save time, improve accuracy, and streamline your roofing estimation workflow, without changing how you price or manage labor.
Save 90% of your time on roofing takeoffs
Beam AI automatically calculates roof areas, flashing lengths, insulation, and drain quantities directly from your blueprints. Get QA-reviewed takeoffs in 24–72 hours, ready to import into your preferred roofing estimating software, AI roofing estimate tool, or construction estimating software.

FAQs
What is a commercial roofing estimator?
A commercial roofing estimator determines material quantities, labor needs, and costs for commercial roofing systems. They calculate roof areas, insulation thickness, flashing lengths, and other quantities needed to prepare accurate roofing estimates and proposals. Modern roof estimating tools and roofing estimator software help streamline this process, especially for teams working on complex commercial projects.
Is Beam AI a full roofing estimating software?
Beam AI automates the most time-intensive part of roofing estimation, the material takeoffs. It doesn’t generate full cost estimates but provides structured quantities ready to use in your preferred roofing estimating software or workflow. Many contractors use it alongside their metal roofing estimating software or other roof estimating tools to speed up production.
How does Beam AI handle roofing estimating?
Beam AI reads your roof plan sheets and automatically measures roof areas, membrane types, flashing, drains, scuppers, and insulation. The QA-reviewed results are delivered in Excel format so you can prep estimates within roofing software estimating systems or construction estimating platforms. This makes the entire roofing estimating process significantly faster and more consistent.
Can Beam AI replace my current estimating software?
No. Beam AI works alongside your existing AI roofing estimate tools or commercial roofing estimating software. It automates takeoffs so you can continue managing pricing, labor, and markups in your current system. Many contractors pair Beam AI with their preferred roof estimating software for Mac or Windows-based tools.
What kind of file do I receive after a roofing takeoff?
You’ll receive a structured Excel file with:
- Roof area measurements (SF)
- Underlayment and insulation quantities (SF)
- Flashing and edge metal (LF)
- Roof drains, scuppers, and penetrations
You can easily import or copy these quantities into your roofing estimate template or preferred estimating platform.
How fast are AI takeoffs compared to manual estimating?
Beam AI delivers QA-reviewed roofing takeoffs within 24–72 hours, saving up to 90% of the time compared to manual tracing or measurement as you no longer spend days doing measurements yourself.
Can Beam AI read blueprints directly?
Yes. Beam AI functions like a blueprint estimating software, it reads architectural and roofing plan PDFs, detecting slopes, roof types, and details automatically.
What makes Beam AI different from other roofing estimating tools?
Beam AI combines AI automation with human QA review, ensuring accuracy across complex roof geometries and layered systems. It gives estimators ready-to-price data for any commercial roofing estimate example, eliminating repetitive manual work.
What quantities Beam AI cover in roofing takeoffs?
Your pre-aligned scope covers key roofing estimation items such as, roof
- Roof membranes: TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, BUR, asphalt shingles, or metal roofing panels.
- Underlayment and barriers: Synthetic felt, vapor barriers, ice and water shields.
- Flashing and edge metal: Base flashing, parapet flashing, coping, and drip edges.
- Drainage and protection: Roof drains, scuppers, and overflow assemblies.
- Sealants and waterproofing: Joints, terminations, and penetrations.
