Case Study: Axion Specialty Contracting saves 16 hours per week with Beam AI

Axion Specialty Contracting saves 16 hours per week with Beam AI

Axion Specialty Contracting, a mechanical insulation contractor based in Massachusetts, faced a significant challenge as its sole estimator was spending 32 hours per week performing manual digital takeoffs. This time-intensive process, exacerbated by frequent addenda and plan revisions, forced the estimator to prioritize bidding over active project oversight, limiting his ability to manage jobsites effectively. The company turned to vendor Beam AI and its AI-based takeoff software for a solution.

By implementing Beam AI's solution, Axion Specialty Contracting achieved dramatic time savings. The AI-based takeoffs reduced the time spent on the process by 50%, saving an estimated 16 hours per week. This efficiency gain allowed the estimator to reallocate two full days per week from doing takeoffs back to managing active jobsites, significantly improving project management bandwidth. The results demonstrate how Beam AI directly contributed to enhanced operational efficiency for the contractor.
