Beam AI
AI earthwork takeoffs backed by human QA, delivered in 24-72 hours.
About
Beam AI automates earthwork quantity takeoff: upload project drawings and its software generates excavation, embankment, cut-and-fill, trench, and utility quantities, then a human team reviews every takeoff before delivery as an estimate-ready Excel spreadsheet.
The combination of AI and human review is aimed at excavation, sitework, utility, and civil contractors that need faster bidding without spending hours measuring plans by hand; the company says typical delivery is 24 to 72 hours.
Limitation: it is a software-plus-service model rather than pure self-serve software, pricing is not published, and turnaround depends on their QA queue during busy bidding seasons.
