Very easy to work with as well as their team. They are very responsive and helpful with all our questions and concerns. > > **Cons**: Every question, comment or bug - anything that we needed added or fixed to make our takeoffs better has been brought up to the Beam AI team via email as well as our feedback meetings. > > When I first heard about Beam AI, I was admittedly skeptical. As an estimator, managing takeoffs for every project while working under tight deadlines can be challenging and stressful. It is essential to thoroughly review every section of the plans to ensure nothing is overlooked when preparing proposals. Since implementing Beam AI at our company, we have been able to reduce the time spend on projects by nearly half. While there are still some bugs, questions and areas for improvement that we continue to work through with the Beam AI team, the overall experience has been very positive. I am every pleased with the impact Beam AI has had on our estimating process and look forward to seeing how the platform continues to improve. ----- ### "Beam AI saves time for me" — 5.0/5 > **Mike** | *14 September 2026* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Saves me hours tracing takeoffs via other software. With this software, I can focus on the other details of my bids while Beam AI manages the takeoff. > > **Cons**: Looking forward to accurate estimates of the parts in the takeoff (new feature). If they tie this to local pricing database it will be great\! > > Saves me time on all bids that I complete. Allows me to spend more time on the specs and contract details versus takeoff analysis. ----- ### "Beam Ai Review" — 5.0/5 > **Brendon** | *29 July 2026* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: The time savings and accuracy of bids. The ability to export excel spreadsheets and pdf of the takeoffs that I could upload to my system. It also helped sending to my lighting and gear vendors to help them get my bid numbers back in a shorter time period > > **Cons**: It missed some of the items on the detailed drawings such as garage door low voltage layouts or personnel security doors. > > It was positive overall. It allowed me to submit more large bids in a shorter time so I could focus on the smaller filler bids that keep the money coming in. ----- ### "Good service, great option" — 5.0/5 > **Eric** | *9 September 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Value for money, easy to navigate the system, easy onboarding. TO have the ability to have multiple projects in the go at the same time is a great advantage. > > **Cons**: The system is setup for US based customers which makes it tricky for international customers however the team is always happy to assist and modify the system when required. > > The experience has been good, the customer support team is always willing to assist. The output provided has been very helpfull. ----- ### "Project Estimator" — 5.0/5 > **Aravind** | *28 September 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The most valuable part of working with Beam AI has been the turnaround time / the speed at which takeoffs were delivered, which helped us keep pace with bid deadlines. The team was responsive to questions and receptive to feedback during the project. Deliverables were organized and easy to follow, and quantities for wall framing / floor and roof systems / sheathing / hardware were laid out in a way that made it straightforward for us to review, price, and build our estimate. Having an outside team handle the initial quantity work freed up our time for pricing, scope review, and bid strategy. > > **Cons**: There were still some items missed and some incorrect quantities in the takeoffs. As we all know, plan sets at the early stage are often incomplete, which requires an estimator to think beyond what is shown and add the necessary material as an assumption to cover both the material and the cost. The Beam AI team produces good work on each project based on what is drawn, but it needs additional effort to look into the details from a real-world framing perspective, rather than relying only on the early-stage plan set. Building in typical framing conditions (such as blocking, backing, hardware, and connections not explicitly shown) would make the takeoffs much more complete and reduce the rework on our side. > > Overall, my experience with Beam AI has been great. The service saves us time on the front end, and the team is professional and easy to work with. They are available throughout the week and have helped us deliver takeoffs within tight bid timelines. Thank you to the whole team, especially Aman, Paramjeet, and Shivani, for their support. We would like to complete more bids through Beam AI and are open to making any adjustments needed to shape the takeoffs so they are more efficient for both bidding and field use. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/437381/beam-ai?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/437381/beam-ai) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
