Case Study: a commercial HVAC contractor doubles revenue and speeds up bid turnaround with Beam AI

Doubles Revenue to $12M and Boosts Bid Volume with Beam AI

A commercial HVAC contractor was facing significant inefficiencies in its estimating process, relying on time-consuming manual takeoffs with Bluebeam that took 4-6 hours per page. This lengthy process limited the number of bids the team could submit and caused bid turnaround times to stretch to five days, leaving many potential projects unexplored. To overcome this, the contractor turned to Beam AI to automate its takeoff process.

By implementing Beam AI, the contractor automated its takeoffs, achieving an 80% reduction in the time spent on that task. This solution improved the team's overall productivity by 60% and slashed bid turnaround time from five days down to just two. This newfound efficiency allowed the company to bid on and win more projects, which directly contributed to Beam AI helping them double their annual revenue from $6 million to $12 million.
