What is Beam AI?

Beam AI is an AI-powered, fully automated construction takeoff and bid management platform for general contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers. It accelerates preconstruction by extracting quantities directly from uploaded plans and specs, delivering QA-verified results in 24–72 hours with accuracy claimed within ±1% of typical in-house standards. BeamGPT instantly reads and queries drawings and specifications, while cloud-based collaboration, multi-trade support, robust tagging, addenda/revision management, and flexible Excel/PDF exports streamline estimation workflows. Integrated bid tracking, reminders, and industry tool integrations (including APIs) help teams bid more jobs, reduce manual effort by 80–90%, and increase win rates.
