Customize estimates from draft to winning proposal

With Beam's construction estimating software, you have full flexibility to customize estimates at any level:

  • Sections and groups
  • Items, discounts, markup

Then, you can format your estimate to show or hide any details in your proposal.

Once your proposal is ready, send it directly from Beam for review and approval. If the estimate requires changes, revise it in Beam and re-send with ease.

Re-use templates and your cost library

Use templates from past projects to jumpstart similar work, build line-by-line from your saved cost library, or combine both approaches as needed.
