Get reviewed electrical takeoffs
Get QA-reviewed takeoffs. Each takeoff is reviewed by our QA team and delivered within 24–72 hours.
What's holding electrical estimators down?
Manual takeoffs eat up your time, slowing down estimates and bids.
Limited time to bid on more projects
Manual tasks like measuring wiring, conduits, and lighting fixtures take up days, reducing your ability to submit more bids or respond quickly to RFPs.
Too much manual effort, too little focus on strategy
Manual takeoffs consume 50% of your bid cycle, with revisions forcing you to redo everything. This leaves little room for refining estimates, coordinating with vendors, or optimizing bids.
Future-ready AI-based takeoff software for electrical contractors
Reclaim 15-20 hours a week and double your bid capacity.
Save 90% of time on electrical takeoffs
Let Beam AI automatically extract quantities for switches, outlets, electrical boxes, and more—no manual tracing needed. It reads specs and notes to complete takeoffs just like an estimator.
Bid 2x more jobs without growing your team
With Beam AI handling the heavy lifting, you can double your bid capacity and focus on high-impact tasks like RFIs, RFQs, value engineering, and pricing strategy.
