FAQs

What is a quantity takeoff and why is it important?

A quantity takeoff is the process of measuring and listing all materials required for a construction project. Understanding what is a quantity takeoff is critical because it helps contractors prepare accurate bids, control costs, and improve tender accuracy.

How does AI quantity takeoff software improve accuracy compared to manual methods?

AI quantity takeoff software automates the process of extracting material quantities from digital drawings, reducing human error. Unlike traditional quantity takeoff methods, it delivers faster results and integrates with other estimating tools.

What is the best quantity takeoff software for contractors?

The best quantity takeoff software is one that offers automation, flexibility, and integrations. Firms can leverage AI-assisted quantity takeoff software such as Beam AI to save their estimator’s time with fully automated material takeoffs.

What are some common quantity takeoff methods used in construction?

Common quantity take off methods include manual takeoffs from 2D drawings, digital takeoffs using tools such as Bluebeam, quantity takeoff in Revit, 3D quantity takeoff using BIM or fully automated AI-assisted material takeoffs with Beam AI.

Can quantity takeoffs be done for specific trades like concrete, rebar, plumbing, or electrical?

Yes, modern quantity takeoff software supports trade-specific workflows. Examples include concrete quantity takeoff, rebar quantity takeoff, plumbing quantity takeoff, and electrical quantity takeoff among multiple other trades.

Are there free quantity takeoff tools available?

Yes, some vendors offer free quantity takeoff software, quantity takeoff software free download, or a free quantity takeoff Excel spreadsheet as a starting point. However, advanced AI-assisted quantity takeoff software like Beam AI fully extracts material quantities from plansets and delivers outputs in simplified Excel formats that allow you to quickly prepare estimates from the material lists.

Do you provide BIM or 3D quantity takeoff capabilities?

No, we don’t currently support BIM quantity takeoff, Revit quantity takeoff, or 3D quantity takeoff workflows. Our focus is on delivering 2D AI-assisted quantity takeoff software that automates material quantities directly from drawings, ensuring speed without the complexity of BIM modeling.
