Attentive.ai works on the measuring and modelling that sits before a construction bid. Beam AI extracts quantities from plans and specifications, either instantly for HVAC, plumbing and steel, or as a done-for-you takeoff returned in 24 to 72 hours. BIM CoPilot handles the modelling side: 3D trade features, parametric Revit families, clash coordination, constructability review, shop drawings and bills of quantities.
Takeoff is the right thing to attack because it decides how many jobs a contractor can even bid for. Counting fittings and measuring runs off a drawing set is slow, skilled and entirely mechanical, and it is the reason estimators decline work they would probably have won. The company’s claim is three times more bids, which is a throughput argument rather than an accuracy one.
Offering both instant AI takeoffs and a human-delivered service in the same product is unusually honest about where the technology currently is: fast where the trade is well-structured, human where it is not. More than 1,200 construction and field service businesses across the US and Canada are claimed. No pricing is published, an extracted quantity still carries the estimator’s name when the bid goes out, and clash detection finds geometric conflicts rather than constructability problems a person would spot.
