You’re spending half your bid cycle on manual takeoffs

Manually doing takeoffs crowd out high-impact tasks

Manual demolition takeoffs slow down bid prep

Estimators spend days counting removals, and tracking demo items in spreadsheets. Add plan revisions or last-minute addenda, and the low-leverage work piles up. When takeoffs drag, there’s limited time left to negotiate pricing with suppliers, putting cost control at risk.

Low bid volume limits growth

When your team is stuck on repetitive demolition takeoffs, you’re forced to pass up bids and miss revenue opportunities. Manual workflows keep you reactive instead of strategic. Your focus shifts from tasks like bid refinement, vendor outreach, and client coordination.

Ditch doing demolition takeoffs manually, get time back with Beam AI
