Why Traditional Steel Estimating Software isn’t enough for you
It’s slowing down your bidding capacity
When takeoffs are manual, there's a hard cap on how many projects your team can handle. With tight deadlines and short bid windows, slow takeoffs mean missed bids and missed revenue.
You’re doing too much manually
Estimators often spend over half their bid cycle extracting steel quantities—measuring every beam, counting every connection, and calculating weights by hand. That’s time taken away from refining numbers, reviewing scopes, or chasing new opportunities.

Frequently asked questions
What is structural steel estimating software?
It’s a tool used to calculate costs for structural steel projects - covering materials, labor, equipment, and overhead. While most estimating software can process cost data, they rely on manually gathered quantities. Beam AI automates this first step, feeding in accurate material counts to help you estimate faster and with greater confidence.
Does Beam AI replace my estimating software?
No. Beam AI is designed to work with your existing estimating software. It automates the takeoff process and delivers quantities you can plug into your estimate. You’ll still use your estimating software for pricing, labor, and scope tracking - but with cleaner, faster inputs.
Can Beam AI handle large-scale commercial steel projects?
Yes. Beam AI is built to support complex structural scopes—from multi-level buildings to heavy industrial steelwork. It can process multiple plan sets at once and adapts to different structural drawing conventions.
How do I get started?
Just upload your plans and define your scope. Beam AI takes care of the rest. Book a free demo to see how fast and easy it is to automate your next structural steel takeoff.
