Company profile
researched Aug 2026Attentive.ai is an AI-based SaaS company serving preconstruction and estimating professionals in the construction and outdoor/field services industries. Its platform combines AI takeoffs, estimating, bid management and human-vetted Building Information Modeling (BIM) services, positioned to carry projects from planning through build.
The company's takeoff and estimating product, Beam AI, is offered in two modes: a "done for you" service in which users upload PDF plans, specifications, legends and supporting documents and receive quantity takeoffs and custom estimates within 24-72 hours after a QA check, and a self-serve "do it yourself" mode providing instant AI takeoffs for trades including HVAC, plumbing and steel for faster budgeting and estimating. Its second product line, BIM CoPilot, delivers multi-trade 3D BIM modeling, parametric Revit family creation, clash coordination and constructability review, shop drawing and bill-of-quantities generation, BIM process implementation services, and as-built BIM modeling for facility management.
The company describes its addressable market as the $3T+ construction and outdoor services industry and states its aim of eliminating manual takeoffs with AI. It also runs Convergence, an annual conference for preconstruction professionals, scheduled for 4-5 November 2026.
