FAQs
What is an auto-calculated measurement in Beam AI?
It’s a feature that automatically derives measurements like volume, area, height, and width directly from your takeoff data without manual calculations.
Can I add my own custom attributes for measurements?
Yes. You can add custom fields such as slab height, material density, or other project-specific attributes, and Beam AI will instantly recalculate results.
How does this feature save time for estimators?
By eliminating manual recalculations, it ensures accurate results, helping estimators focus more on bidding strategy and high-value tasks instead of recalculating values.
Will results update automatically if I change an attribute?
Absolutely. Any change you make, such as adjusting height or adding a new value, triggers instant recalculation across your takeoff details.
What are calculated measurements in Beam AI, and how do they work?
Calculated Measurements let you create custom formulas to derive new quantities from your takeoff. For example, you can combine a line’s length with a custom height attribute to calculate wall area. This reduces manual effort, ensures accuracy, and tailors results to project-specific requirements
How does auto-derived measurement save time for estimators?
Beam AI automatically calculates measurements like height, width, area, and volume based on existing material values. By adding custom fields—for example, slab height or material density—the system instantly recalculates totals, allowing estimators to focus on strategy instead of manual calculations, saving significant time.
Can I customize attributes for my project?
Yes. You can add project-specific attributes such as slab height, material density, or coating thickness. Beam AI will instantly recalculate all relevant measurements, ensuring your estimates remain accurate as plans or specifications change.
How does auto-derived measurement improve accuracy and efficiency?
By automatically updating derived quantities whenever base measurements or attributes change, Beam AI eliminates manual errors and keeps all calculations consistent. Estimators can quickly explore different scenarios, update bids, and handle multiple projects simultaneously, improving workflow efficiency.
