What is Beam AI?

Beam AI is an AI‑driven construction takeoff and estimating platform that converts PDF plans, specifications, and legends into accurate, quantity‑ready spreadsheets and PDFs within 24–72 hours. It automates extraction for trades including HVAC, mechanical, concrete, electrical, plumbing, steel, civil, utilities, roofing, flooring, and landscaping, enabling general contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers to scale bid volume without adding staff.

Users can define rates, markups, labor costs, and union rules once, and the system applies those changes automatically across all estimates, cutting pricing errors. The platform incorporates a quality‑assurance check, a centralized bid dashboard, and a single source of truth for incoming invitations to bid, streamlining project workflow.
