#1 AI subcontractor takeoff software to estimate & win more jobs

Cut back 90% of the time spent on takeoffs and estimate 30% more jobs with Beam AI, the leading takeoff software for subcontractors

Your current subcontractor takeoff software keeps you away from value-add tasks

During a bid cycle, subcontractors juggle countless tasks facing:
Too much time spent on coordinating with vendors & customers icon
Time-consuming and Error-prone takeoffs
Manual processes for material takeoffs slow you down often consuming 50% of your bid cycle. Addendums only make it worse, requiring constant revisions.
Missing out on new bid opportunities due to limited bandwidth icon
Limited bandwidth for strategic activities
With so much time spent on takeoffs, you struggle to negotiate supplier quotes effectively, refine estimates, and conduct value engineering to cut costs without sacrificing quality.
Inadequate time to scope better, refine estimates & for value engineering icon
Misaligned coordination with GCs
Manual takeoffs leave little room for proactive coordination with GCs. Without early alignment on drawings, specs, and scope, subs risk delays and face reduced chances of winning bids.
