Beam AI

Beam AI is a cloud-based AI takeoff and construction estimating platform for general contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers that turns PDF drawings and specifications into bid-ready quantities.

Key capabilities include:

• AI quantity extraction from PDFs across 16+ trades (including concrete, HVAC/mechanical, civil, utilities/earthwork, electrical, plumbing, structural steel, roofing, landscaping, paving)
• Expert-reviewed deliverables returned in 24–72 hours with a stated ±1% accuracy relative to in-house estimates
• Exports to Excel and PDF so teams can plug quantities into internal pricing models, estimating workflows, and bid packages
• Cloud collaboration in the iBeam Portal, including project sharing, real-time teamwork, and support for revisions/addendums on complex plan sets

Pricing: Paid, with trade-specific pricing and DIY and Done For You (DFY) options (details provided in the online pricing guide).

Notable for combining automated takeoff extraction with a human-in-the-loop QA review and a defined turnaround window, targeting high-volume bidding teams that need consistent, shareable takeoffs without on-premise software.
