How our AI-Based concrete-rebar takeoff software works
Upload concrete and rebar plans in PDF
Drag and drop foundation plans, slab layouts, column details, beam schedules, and rebar sections.
Confirm scope of work for your concrete and rebar takeoff
The scope will already include typical concrete pours, footings, slabs, columns, beams, and rebar placements. Just check to confirm.
Got changes, exclusions, or unusual project notes? Add them in “Project-Specific Deviations.”
AI performs the concrete & rebar quantity takeoff
AI auto-reads specs and keyed-in notes to calculate concrete volumes in cubic yards (slabs, columns, beams, foundations) and rebar quantities in pounds, including laps, dowels, and standees.
Receive QA-reviewed results
Every takeoff is reviewed by QA and delivered in 24–72 hours, ready for estimating
Your current concrete takeoff software is costing you bidding opportunities
Manually doing takeoffs eats up your bidding cycle, choking your bandwidth
Manual takeoffs are slow and error-prone
Measuring concrete pours and rebar layouts by hand can take days and introduce errors. This takes time away from chasing more bidding opportunities.
50% of bid time lost to manual work
Manual concrete and rebar quantity takeoffs dominate your bid cycle, leaving no room for speaking to vendors for better pricing, refining estimates, and value engineering.
Completely automated concrete & rebar takeoffs with Beam AI
No more clicking and tracing site plans. Get 100% automated quantity takeoffs for slabs, footings, beams, columns, dowels, laps, standees, and reinforcement.
Save 90% of time on concrete and rebar takeoffs
Beam AI reads your plans and sections to generate precise concrete volumes for foundations, slabs, columns, and more. Regain 15-20 hours/week for vendor coordination, pricing optimization, and high-value estimating work.
Bid 2X more jobs without extra hires
Queue and get multiple concrete and rebar takeoffs processed in parallel to push double the number of bids out the door, especially during busy spells.

FAQs
What is a concrete takeoff?
A concrete takeoff calculates the volume of concrete required for structural elements like foundations, slabs, beams, columns, and footings. It’s the first step in preparing an accurate concrete quantity takeoff for estimating, cost management, and scheduling timely material orders.
What is a concrete quantity takeoff?
A concrete quantity takeoff provides the exact amount of concrete needed, typically expressed in cubic yards or cubic meters, including breakdowns by structural elements. This ensures accurate procurement and prevents material waste.
How does Beam AI’s concrete takeoff software work?
Beam AI is an AI-based, cloud-based concrete takeoff software that reads your PDF plans to automatically generate concrete takeoffs. It identifies slabs, columns, footings, and beams, producing Excel-ready concrete quantity takeoffs for estimates.
How do I do a concrete takeoff manually?
Traditionally, how to do a concrete takeoff involves measuring plan dimensions, calculating volumes for each element, and adjusting for voids or slopes. This process is slow and error-prone compared to AI-based takeoff software for concrete like Beam AI which fully automates the process.
Does Beam AI provide concrete takeoff Excel spreadsheets?
Yes. Every project is delivered to your account with multiple export options, including a concrete takeoff Excel spreadsheet, ready for estimating or sharing with project stakeholders.
What is concrete and rebar takeoff software?
Concrete and rebar takeoff software like Beam AI automates the calculation of concrete volumes and rebar quantities from structural plans. Beam AI eliminates manual measuring, delivering reinforced concrete quantity takeoffs and rebar weights with QA verification.
What is a rebar takeoff?
A rebar takeoff determines the total reinforcing bar (rebar) quantity, size, length, and weight needed for structural elements like slabs, beams, columns, and foundations. It’s crucial for structural integrity and cost control.
How does Beam AI’s rebar takeoff software ensure accuracy?
Beam AI’s rebar takeoff software uses AI to detect bar placements, calculate rebar quantity takeoffs, and generate results. A Quality Assurance team reviews every rebar takeoff before delivery to guarantee +-1% of your in-house accuracy.
How do I perform a rebar takeoff manually?
Learning how to do a rebar takeoff involves interpreting structural drawings, reading schedules for bar size and spacing, and multiplying for total weight. Beam AI automates this, saving days of manual effort.
Is Beam AI the best concrete and rebar takeoff software?
Beam AI is widely trusted as the best concrete takeoff software because it:
- Saves up to 90% of takeoff time
- Delivers estimate-ready Excel concrete and rebar quantity takeoffs
- Is fully cloud-based, so no software downloads are needed
- Handles addenda automaticallyProcesses multiple takeoffs at once to double your bid capacity
Can I queue multiple concrete takeoffs at once?
Yes. Our cloud-based concrete takeoff software allows you to submit multiple projects simultaneously, so you can bid 2X more jobs.
