Case Study: Big D Paving achieves 5X more bids per month with Beam AI

Increased bid volume 5X and saved 60 hours weekly

Big D Paving, a paving contractor in Florida, faced a significant bottleneck in its bidding process. With a single estimator spending approximately 25 hours weekly on manual takeoffs using AGTEK, the company struggled to scale its bid volume and had limited time for higher-value strategic work. To overcome these challenges, they turned to Beam AI for a solution.

By implementing Beam AI, Big D Paving automated its takeoff process, saving an estimated 60 hours per week. This efficiency gain allowed them to increase their monthly bid output by 5X, from roughly 15 to 75 bids. The Beam AI solution freed the estimator to focus on strategic activities like site visits and supplier coordination, enabling the company to scale its operations without adding headcount.
