Get QA-reviewed takeoffs
Every takeoff is reviewed by our Quality Assurance team and delivered within 24–72 hours, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
What’s holding suppliers back from winning more jobs?
Manual takeoffs are eating up your time and costing you bids
Manual takeoffs slow down bidding and hurt profitability
Manual takeoffs are time-intensive, especially with large-scale or multiple projects. Suppliers struggle to generate accurate material lists quickly enough, leading to missed opportunities and rushed estimates that negatively impact profitability.
Managing multiple subcontractor bids becomes inefficient
Handling dozens or even hundreds of subcontractor bids for the same project manually slows down the process, making it impossible to scale efficiently. Delays frustrate subcontractors, pushing them to turn to faster competitors.

It helps suppliers quickly calculate the necessary materials (concrete, steel, electrical components, etc.) based on project plans, saving time, reducing errors, and improving the accuracy of bids.
How does supplier takeoff software work?
Most supplier takeoff software requires manual input and time-consuming calculations. Beam AI, however, automates the entire process by extracting quantities directly from your plans. Upload your plans, define the scope of work, and AI generates the material quantities. Each takeoff is reviewed by our QA team and delivered within 24–72 hours.
Can I use this for multiple trades?
Yes, Beam AI supports takeoffs for a wide range of materials across various trades including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, concrete, steel, and more.
What format are the takeoff results in?
Export your takeoff in Excel for estimating, generate branded PDFs for clients, or share a simple view-only link with stakeholders for real-time collaboration.
How does AI-based supplier takeoff software handle revisions?
Beam AI automatically detects changes across addenda and provides an Addendum Variance Report, ensuring that all adjustments are accurately captured and your estimates remain up-to-date.
How does pricing work for AI-based supplier takeoff software?
Beam AI operates on an annual subscription model tailored to 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. Visit the pricing page for full details.
