AI-based construction takeoff and estimating software

Beam AI automates the creation of detailed material takeoffs, from concrete pavement and rebar to HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. Each Excel sheet is formatted for plug-and-play estimating: trade-specific line items, accurate units, assemblies where needed, and space for remarks or adjustments. Estimators simply attach costs to the quantities, reducing the time spent measuring and organizing materials by hand.

Beam AI delivers QA-reviewed outputs in 24–72 hours, saving estimators up to 90% of the time typically spent on manual takeoffs.

Beam AI automates concrete takeoffs — formwork, rebar, slabs, footings — providing ready-to-price Excel outputs tailored for concrete contractors.

Beam AI is an AI-powered takeoff software, not a full estimating platform. It automates the most time-intensive part of estimating—material quantities—and delivers QA-reviewed Excel files ready for your pricing. Files include structured trade sheets, grouped assemblies, derived measurements, and remarks columns for context, so you can confidently move straight into labor, equipment, and markup. By cutting manual takeoff time by ~90%, Beam AI helps teams submit more bids and scale estimating without extra headcount.

Beam AI is built to read and extract quantities directly from your PDF blueprints and construction drawings. Excel outputs are organized by trade (e.g., concrete, rebar, plumbing, HVAC), with assemblies grouped where applicable (like sewer lines with fittings, collars, and manholes). Estimators can double-check against plan callouts, see derived measurements (sqft, cu yd, counts), and then drop in cost data. This makes Beam AI a blueprint takeoff solution that accelerates the estimating process, while leaving final pricing and markups to your team.

Beam AI generates fully automated demolition takeoffs directly from your blueprints. Outputs are delivered in Excel, with demolition-specific sheets organized by trade or category (e.g., Demolition, Site Plan, Earthwork, Utilities). Each file includes line items like “Existing sidewalk & canopy to be removed” with precise units (sqft, ft, count), plus remarks where special notes apply. This format lets your team plug in labor, equipment, and disposal costs quickly—turning what used to take days of manual counts into a bid-ready file in hours.

Beam AI supports utility takeoffs as part of its trade coverage. Whether it’s underground utilities, sitework, or piping, the platform provides structured Excel outputs to plug into your estimates.

Beam AI specializes in concrete estimating. It automatically generates material quantities for slabs, formwork, rebar, and foundations, giving concrete contractors estimate-ready data they can price in minutes.

Beam AI automates plumbing takeoffs, capturing detailed quantities for piping, fixtures, and fittings. The outputs are delivered in structured Excel files, making it easy for your team to add labor and unit pricing to build plumbing estimates in your existing workflow.

Beam AI streamlines HVAC takeoffs by automatically quantifying equipment, ductwork, and fittings. The Excel outputs are organized by system type, helping estimators plug in costs and labor directly for faster, more accurate HVAC estimates.

Beam AI produces trade-specific takeoffs for structural steel — including beams, columns, and connections. Estimators receive clean Excel files with organized quantities, which can be priced quickly inside your estimating process.

 Beam AI automates flooring takeoffs for materials like tile, carpet, and vinyl. The estimate-ready Excel sheets break down areas by room or zone, giving you clear quantities that can be priced out in minutes.

Beam AI extracts masonry quantities such as block, brick, and mortar directly from your plans. Results come in Excel format, allowing your team to add labor and unit costs for complete masonry estimates.

Beam AI automates earthwork takeoffs with cut/fill volumes, bedding, and export data. The Excel outputs are detailed enough for estimators to layer in equipment, trucking, and labor rates for accurate bids.

Beam AI generates irrigation takeoffs by quantifying pipe runs, sprinkler heads, and valves. Outputs are structured in Excel to make it simple to add material and labor costs and finalize irrigation estimates.

Beam AI automates paving takeoffs, including asphalt, base, and striping. Contractors receive Excel outputs grouped by surface and layer, ready to price and include in their estimates.

Beam AI provides landscape takeoffs for sod, planting beds, shrubs, and trees. The detailed Excel sheets are structured so contractors can add labor and material costs quickly and produce accurate landscape estimates.

 Beam AI captures painting surface areas such as walls, ceilings, and finishes directly from your blueprints. The quantities are delivered in Excel, making it straightforward to input coating and labor costs.

Beam AI automates roofing takeoffs, capturing areas, insulation, and flashing. The Excel outputs provide the quantities you need to plug into your estimating software, helping you price roofing jobs with confidence.
