How fully automated material takeoff software gets the job done
Get your takeoff in 4 simple steps
Upload your project plans in PDF format
Upload your trade-specific drawings, including architectural, mechanical, electrical, or civil plans. Beam AI supports PDF-based takeoffs for multiple trades.
Confirm the scope of work for your takeoff
Review your pre-aligned scope, already tailored to your trade (e.g., HVAC/mechanical, steel, concrete, or multi-trade). Simply check the box to confirm.
If this project has any exceptions or changes, add them in the “Project-Specific Deviations” text box.
AI does the material takeoff for you
Beam AI automatically extracts the material quantities from your plans and prepares a ready-to-use takeoff file, no manual tracing required.
Get QA-reviewed takeoffs
Every takeoff is reviewed by our Quality Assurance team and delivered in 24–72 hours, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
What’s slowing down your bidding capacity?
Your current material takeoff software is capping your bid volume:
Missed deadlines & lost revenue
When manual material takeoffs slow your bid turnaround, especially during peak bidding seasons, you risk missing high-value opportunities or losing them to faster competitors.
Spending hours redoing takeoffs
Manual takeoffs take up 50% of your bid cycle, with addenda changes forcing you to redo your material takeoff completely. This leaves limited time for refining estimates, vendor coordination, and value engineering.
