What’s slowing paving estimators down?

Your current paving takeoff software is eating into your estimating bandwidth.

Beam AI

You can’t win jobs you don’t bid for

Manual takeoffs, like measuring pavement areas, crosswalks, curbs, and material quantities, eat up entire workdays, limiting your ability to chase multiple bids and respond to urgent RFPs. This leads to loss of revenue in the long term.

Beam AI

Limits time for strategy & coordination

Manual takeoffs consume up to 50% of your bid cycle. With addenda changes forcing you to redo paving takeoffs, you’re left with limited time for refining estimates, vendor coordination, and value engineering.

AI-based takeoff software for paving contractors

Regain 15 to 20 hours per week while scaling your bid volume

Save 90% of time on paving takeoffs

Let Beam AI extract all quantities automatically, including paving area, curb lengths, material quantities, and asphalt thickness. Zero manual tracing required.

Bid 2X more jobs without growing your team

With Beam AI handling the heavy lifting, you can double your bid capacity while focusing on refining your estimates, pricing strategies, and project management.

FAQs

What is a paving takeoff?

Chevron down blue

A paving takeoff is the process of identifying and measuring site areas to calculate quantities for paving materials like asphalt, curbing, striping, and concrete.

  • In construction jobs, this is done from drawings such as site plans, grading layouts, and paving blueprints.
  • In maintenance jobs, this involves using aerial imagery to capture quantities for asphalt surfaces, curbs, parking stalls, stop bars, crosswalks, and directional arrows.

How does paving takeoff software work?

Chevron down blue

Paving takeoff software like Beam AI automates the entire process so you don’t have to measure manually.

  • For construction jobs, you simply upload your plans, confirm your scope, and Beam AI extracts material quantities directly from your drawings.
  • For maintenance jobs, you enter the property address, confirm the lot boundary, and AI takes measurements from aerial imagery for all paving elements.

Every output is reviewed by our QA team before delivery, so you receive accurate, shareable results in formats like Excel, PDF, or view-only links.

Can I use this for both interior and exterior paving?

Chevron down blue

Yes, Beam AI supports paving takeoffs for all surface types including roadways, parking lots, driveways, and exterior walkways.

What format are the takeoff results in?

Chevron down blue

Export your paving quantity takeoff in custom Excel formats, generate branded PDFs, or share a simple view-only link with stakeholders.

How does AI-based paving takeoff software handle revisions?

Chevron down blue

Beam AI detects changes across addenda. You get a side-by-side Addendum Variance Report showing quantity changes, new or removed items, and sheet-level highlights.

What is paving takeoff software?

Chevron down blue

Paving takeoff software is a digital tool that allows construction contractors to measure materials like asphalt or concrete directly from digital plans and blueprints. It automates tasks such as calculating areas, distances, and counting items like parking stalls, generating detailed reports for bids and job costing. This replaces manual, time-consuming methods and improves accuracy and efficiency for paving projects.

What is paving takeoff software used for?

Chevron down blue

Paving takeoff software is used to automate measurements and calculate materials, labor, and equipment needs for paving projects such as roads, parking lots, and highways. Contractors can upload digital plans (PDFs, CAD files), take measurements of area, length, and volume, and generate detailed proposals and reports. This improves bid accuracy, saves time, and ensures projects are planned efficiently.

What is paving takeoff software for concrete?

Chevron down blue

Paving takeoff software for concrete helps contractors automate measuring concrete areas, calculating material quantities like concrete volume and rebar, and generating cost estimates from digital drawings. It streamlines estimating for paving jobs like driveways, parking lots, and foundations, reducing manual work, increasing accuracy, and supporting competitive bids.

What is paving estimator software?

Chevron down blue

Paving estimator software is a specialized tool for paving contractors that automates the cost estimation process. It measures areas, calculates materials, labor, and equipment costs, and produces detailed bids and proposals. Advanced features may include aerial imaging, customizable templates, and cloud collaboration, helping contractors optimize resource allocation, reduce errors, and manage projects more effectively.

How does Beam AI help paving contractors save time?

Chevron down blue

Beam AI helps paving contractors reclaim up to 90% of manual takeoff time by fully automating material quantity calculations for asphalt, concrete, and related components. With cloud collaboration and built-in QA, contractors can prepare faster, more accurate bids, handle multiple projects simultaneously, and focus on project management and client relationships rather than manual measurements.
