Attentive.ai helps contractors and suppliers in the United States and Canada measure jobs, estimate costs and prepare bids. Its Beam AI software reads construction drawings and specifications to calculate material quantities, a process known as a takeoff. Estimators can run takeoffs themselves for selected trades or have the results checked by a specialist. Landscaping and paving teams can also measure properties from aerial imagery. Once a project moves into construction, the company’s BIM CoPilot service produces coordinated 3D models and drawings that help contractors spot conflicts before crews start work.
For engineers, the work includes teaching models to tell a wall from a hatch mark or annotation across hundreds of drawing pages. Research roles cover experiments through production. For estimators and construction engineers, technical customer roles offer a way to apply trade knowledge to software and work directly with contractors. Attentive.ai reports more than 1,200 customer businesses and over 500,000 completed takeoffs, giving teams a substantial base of real projects against which to test improvements.
