Beam AI vs. Archdesk

Beam AI automates the construction takeoff process for general contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers. It reads site plans and spec sheets to deliver accurate material quantities—without manual tracing. Beam AI Takeoff Software scans entire plan sets, extracts relevant quantities, and flags changes across addendums. Estimators simply need to upload PDFs and define the scope—Beam AI processes the takeoff and an expert estimator reviews the output to ensure accuracy.

Archdesk is the only business management platform built for the construction industry. It covers everything the modern business needs, including project, finance and asset management. Archdesk is configured to work exactly how your business operates by optimising each workflow and automating where possible.
