Have any non-standard specs or unique jobsite conditions? Add them under “Project-Specific Deviations.”
Beam AI extracts plumbing material quantities
Beam AI detects and quantifies all plumbing components—pipes, fixtures, valves, fittings, and accessories—generating a detailed material takeoff.
Receive Reviewed Plumbing Takeoffs
Every AI-generated plumbing takeoff is reviewed by our QA team for accuracy and delivered within 24–72 hours, ready to plug into your estimating workflow.
What's slowing plumbing estimators down?
Your current plumbing takeoff software is capping your bid volume.
Drowning in takeoffs, missing out on bids
Manual plumbing takeoffs, like water supply lines, fittings, or fixtures, can eat up days. That limits your ability to chase multiple bids or respond to urgent RFPs.
Redoing takeoffs when you should be refining estimates
Manual takeoffs take up 50% of your bid cycle, with addenda changes forcing you to redo your plumbing takeoff completely. This leaves limited time for refining estimates, vendor coordination, and value engineering.

What is a takeoff in plumbing?
A plumbing takeoff is the process of identifying and quantifying components like water lines, drainage pipes, fixtures, valves, and fittings directly from construction drawings. It’s essential for estimating material and labor needs accurately before bidding.
How does plumbing takeoff software work?
Plumbing takeoff software like Beam AI automates the entire process. Just upload your plumbing plans, define the scope, and Beam AI extracts all quantities using AI. Every output is then reviewed by our QA team to ensure accuracy, so you don’t have to trace plans manually.
Can I use this for water supply, and fixture takeoffs?
Yes, Beam AI supports plumbing takeoffs for all major systems including drainage, waste, and vent, water supply lines, fixture units, and more. You can define the scope trade-wise to get exactly what you need.
What format are the plumbing takeoff results in?
Takeoff outputs are delivered in Excel format, pre-organized by scope and trade. You can use them to build estimates, generate branded PDFs for clients, or share results via a secure view-only link.
How does AI-based plumbing takeoff software handle addenda and revisions?
Beam AI detects quantity changes between plan versions automatically. Instead of redoing takeoffs from scratch, you get a side-by-side Addendum Variance Report showing added, removed, or updated quantities with sheet-level highlights.
How does pricing work for AI-based plumbing takeoff software?
Beam AI operates on an annual subscription model tailored to fit your project’s needs. You’ll receive credits in the form of workable sheets, which can be used for your takeoffs throughout the subscription period. Check out the pricing page for full details.
