Beam AI Reviews & Product Details

Beam AI has helped us significantly improve the speed and consistency of our estimating process. On larger projects we’re saving 3–5 days on takeoffs, which allows our team to stay ahead of bid deadlines and spend more time evaluating the project instead of rushing through quantity work.

Before adopting Beam AI, we handled takeoffs manually using On-Screen Takeoff (OST). Larger projects could require several days of dedicated effort, which often limited how many bids our team could realistically pursue at the same time. With Beam AI, we’re able to process takeoffs faster and handle a higher volume of bids without increasing our estimating staff.

Because our estimators also manage projects once they are awarded, the time savings has been important. It allows them to focus more on project coordination, planning, and building relationships with general contractors, rather than spending most of their time on repetitive takeoff work.

The auto-detection of spec details and keyed notes has helped improve takeoff accuracy and has reduced the number of RFIs we typically generate. Handling drawing updates and addenda is also quicker, which helps us stay competitive when projects move quickly.

The platform itself is easy to work with, and submitting projects into the system is straightforward. The Beam AI team has been very responsive whenever we’ve had questions, with quick turnaround and helpful support.

Biggest issue we found is that there is a short learning curve when adopting any new estimating technology, although this transition was faster than most new software implementations we’ve experienced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Through my current use of Beam AI, I've found significant improvements in our workflow. The software is easy to use and most importantly, extremely effective for getting our estimates out in a timely manner.

I can honestly say I don't have any issues with Beam AI. I haven't encountered any serious bugs, and the very minor ones I have get fixed very quickly by the customer support team. I initially expected the cost to be one of the downsides, but in reality, its actually lowered our estimate creation costs. I've begun to use it more and more frequently.

The best part of Beam AI is the customer service. Their team genuinely makes the effort to learn your process and provide meaningful feedback.

There is a learning curve when transitioning to Beam AI, especially if you're used to traditional estimating methods. Users will need to adjust to a new process of measuring and submitting estimates, which can initially feel like re-learning how to do takeoffs. While it takes time to adapt, the Beam AI team provides thorough guidance and support throughout the transition, making the learning process smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you don't want to do anything practically and have the takeoffs done for you then this is a great software to use. The team was easy to set things up with and our team loves the software. It's very detailed and although there is a little learning curve on the best prompts it's relatively quick and super professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
