Beam

Beam provides AI and financial tools for construction businesses, covering estimating, project coordination, and payments. Its AI Assistant turns plans, takeoffs, or notes into proposals and learns a contractor’s pricing and style. Project tools include daily logs, schedules, task management, change orders, and a client portal for updates and documents. Financial features cover invoicing and online payments, bill payment, expense management, job costing, and lien waiver management. Beam integrates with QuickBooks Online and lists CompanyCam, busybusy, Dash Solutions, RenoFi, and XactRemodel as partners. The free Core plan has no subscription cost, supports up to two users, and includes the first five AI estimates; it also offers unlimited estimates, projects, invoices, and payments. Plus costs 200.00 USD per month when billed annually, or $250 per month when billed monthly. Beam lists Scale at $400 / mo and $500 / mo without clarifying their billing periods. Payment processing has a $5 flat ACH fee and a 3% credit card fee, which can be passed to the customer. Beam says it supports major desktop browsers and mobile devices.
