What’s slowing paving estimators down?
Your current paving takeoff software is eating into your estimating bandwidth.
You can’t win jobs you don’t bid for
Manual takeoffs, like measuring pavement areas, crosswalks, curbs, and material quantities, eat up entire workdays, limiting your ability to chase multiple bids and respond to urgent RFPs. This leads to loss of revenue in the long term.
Limits time for strategy & coordination
Manual takeoffs consume up to 50% of your bid cycle. With addenda changes forcing you to redo paving takeoffs, you’re left with limited time for refining estimates, vendor coordination, and value engineering.

What is a paving takeoff?
A paving takeoff is the process of identifying and measuring site areas to calculate quantities for paving materials like asphalt, curbing, striping, and concrete.
- In construction jobs, this is done from drawings such as site plans, grading layouts, and paving blueprints.
- In maintenance jobs, this involves using aerial imagery to capture quantities for asphalt surfaces, curbs, parking stalls, stop bars, crosswalks, and directional arrows.
How does paving takeoff software work?
Paving takeoff software like Beam AI automates the entire process so you don’t have to measure manually.
- For construction jobs, you simply upload your plans, confirm your scope, and Beam AI extracts material quantities directly from your drawings.
- For maintenance jobs, you enter the property address, confirm the lot boundary, and AI takes measurements from aerial imagery for all paving elements.
Every output is reviewed by our QA team before delivery, so you receive accurate, shareable results in formats like Excel, PDF, or view-only links.
Can I use this for both interior and exterior paving?
Yes, Beam AI supports paving takeoffs for all surface types including roadways, parking lots, driveways, and exterior walkways.
What format are the takeoff results in?
Export your paving quantity takeoff in custom Excel formats, generate branded PDFs, or share a simple view-only link with stakeholders.
How does AI-based paving takeoff software handle revisions?
Beam AI detects changes across addenda. You get a side-by-side Addendum Variance Report showing quantity changes, new or removed items, and sheet-level highlights.
