Receive reviewed roofing takeoffs
Every AI-generated roof takeoff is reviewed by our QA team and delivered within 24–72 hours.
What’s keeping roofing estimators away from bidding more?
Manually doing roofing takeoffs makes your bid prep reactive and rushed
Manual roofing takeoffs consume days
Tracing roof areas, counting tiles, and reviewing details takes days. Addenda or revisions require starting over. Team capacity is locked in low-leverage work, limiting how many projects you can pursue.
Limited time for vendor coordination or pricing
When 50% of your bid cycle is spent on manual roof takeoffs, you have less time to secure competitive quotes from suppliers. You struggle to focus on strategic tasks such as crafting competitive bids, value engineering, and clarifying inclusions & exclusions with GCs.
Roofing takeoff software that fully automates takeoffs for you
Free up 15–20 hours a week to focus on pricing, RFIs, and vendor relationships, boosting bid volume and revenue potential.
Save 90% of time on roofing takeoffs
Beam AI automatically measures areas and counts all roof components, including roof decking, insulation, vents, skylights, tiles, and metal roofing panels, eliminating manual tracing. AI auto-reads specs & keyed-in notes to perform a takeoff just like you would.
Bid 2X more jobs without growing your team
Send up to 2x more quotes without compromising quality. Automate roofing takeoffs, manage multiple jobs at once, and always be the first bid out.
