Beam AI Reviews & Product Details

Beam AI automates the construction takeoff process for general contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers. It reads site plans and spec sheets to deliver accurate material quantities—without manual tracing. Beam AI Takeoff Software scans entire plan sets, extracts relevant quantities, and flags changes across addendums. Estimators simply need to upload PDFs and define the scope—Beam AI processes the takeoff and an expert estimator reviews the output to ensure accuracy. This validation guarantees results within ±1% of in-house takeoff accuracy, and completed takeoffs are delivered in just 24–72 hours. Features like custom Excel exports, quantity tagging, spec auto-detection, and resubmission for addenda make it ideal for fast-paced estimating teams. Beam AI saves up to 90% of time spent on takeoffs and enables teams to bid on 30% more projects—without compromising accuracy. Contractors like Silicon Valley Mechanical, National Wholesale Supply, Bommarito Construction, Rocky Mountain Steel, Bancroft Construction, Batson-Cook, Century Concrete, and 900+ businesses are already bidding competitively with Beam AI.

"Reliable Support and Speed: Beam AI Is a Game-Changer for Estimating"

5/5

What do you like best about Beam AI?

The best part of Beam AI is the customer service. Their team genuinely makes the effort to learn your process and provide meaningful feedback. If any issues come up, they’re quick to respond and work with you to resolve them. They’re incredibly supportive and committed to helping improve your workflow. Their responsiveness and willingness to learn from users make a big difference, especially for companies transitioning into AI-driven estimating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Beam AI?

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.

What problems is Beam AI solving and how is that benefiting you?

Beam AI is helping us solve one of the biggest challenges in construction estimating: time-consuming and error-prone takeoffs. Before using Beam, we relied on manual processes that took hours and left room for mistakes. Now, we receive fast and accurate estimates that speed up our bidding process and reduce the risk of miscalculations. This has helped us submit bids more confidently and consistently meet tight deadlines. Beam AI also streamlines change orders, which used to slow down our workflow. Their support team makes the entire process smoother, so we can focus more on growing the business and less on fixing estimating issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Perfect software for takeoffs with little effort"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Beam AI?

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.

What do you dislike about Beam AI?

Coming from not using something previously and doing it by hand the cost seems like the only thing to overcome. So far we are making it work though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The future of construction estimating"

5/5

What do you like best about Beam AI?

Beam.AI was extremely easy to get started with, the customer support team is fantastic, I have a dedicated rep that I meet with every two weeks to discuss and review. Beam.AI allows me a lot of my time back, it is easy to use. I use Beam.AI 5 days a week, but I have taken my time for takeoffs from 30 to 5 hours a week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Beam AI?

I disliked having to change softwares and not have access to all my old documents without having to download them, however, it is a necessary pain for the amount of good that Beam.AI has brought to my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"John Meyer @Legacy's Review"

5/5

What do you like best about Beam AI?

Beam AI helped us double our revenue from $6M to $12M! Before Beam AI, our manual takeoffs were painfully slow - 4 to 6 hours per page. Since switching, we’ve reduced takeoff time by 80%, bid more projects, and doubled our revenue from $6M to $12M. The productivity gains have been phenomenal with Beam AI.

What do you dislike about Beam AI?

The only thing Beam is missing is the pricing and weight component Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"We’re doing 3 to 4x more bids than before. That alone makes Beam worth it."

5/5

What do you like best about Beam AI?

Beam AI lets us bid more without growing the team. It’s one of the best tools I’ve used, and I’ve tried a lot of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Beam AI?

I don't feel like I have the same control because I am not physically doing it myself. Which is just normal since you have delegated this task to someone else. I have a lot more free time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
