Attentive.ai launches BIM CoPilot, bringing human-vetted BIM management to the build phase

• Attentive.ai has launched BIM CoPilot, a fully managed BIM solution that gives contractors human-vetted, multi-trade BIM management across architecture, structure, civil, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and fire protection.

• This launch marks Attentive.ai’s expansion into the build phase. With BIM Co-Pilot, Attentive.ai can now support contractors throughout the entire lifecycle, from AI-based takeoffs, estimates, and bid management to coordinating 3D models and construction-ready drawing sets.

• BIM CoPilot is now available as a standalone, subscription-based service for all construction teams, bringing preconstruction software and build-phase BIM support under one roof.

San Francisco, CA: Attentive.ai today announced the launch of BIM CoPilot. It is a human-vetted, multi-trade BIM management solution that helps contractors turn design documents into coordinated 3D models, clash-free documentation, and construction-ready drawing sets.

The launch marks a major expansion for Attentive.ai as it moves beyond preconstruction and deeper into the construction lifecycle. Its flagship product, Beam AI, is already trusted by more than 1,200 contractors and suppliers across the U.S. and Canada for AI-based takeoff, estimating, and bid management. It offers two models: Do-it-yourself (DIY), which delivers accurate, bid-ready Excel takeoffs in under 10 minutes, and Done-for-you (DFY) workflow, which produces fully managed, QA-checked takeoffs and estimates in under 24 to 72 hours.

For Attentive.ai, the expansion into BIM has been a long time coming. With BIM CoPilot, the biggest upside for contractors is having an expert BIM team that manages the modeling and coordination process from 2D PDFs or CAD files.

As contractors increased bid capacity and won more work, they also needed stronger support for execution. Coordinating trades, resolving clashes, producing field-ready documentation, and keeping projects moving from drawings to installation became the next major bottleneck. BIM CoPilot was built to solve that problem.

“Our customers were already using Beam AI to bid faster and win more work,” said Shiva Dhawan, Co-Founder and CEO of Attentive.ai. “As they scaled their bid volume, they kept asking us what comes next. BIM is the critical step between winning a project and executing it well. BIM CoPilot is a natural next chapter for Attentive.ai because it allows us to support contractors beyond preconstruction and into the build phase.”

What problem is BIM CoPilot solving?

In any commercial project, mechanical systems, plumbing, electrical conduit, structural elements, and architectural details must work together. When they don’t, contractors often discover the issue on site. That is where BIM CoPilot comes in.

BIM CoPilot helps contractors identify and resolve conflicts within a coordinated digital model before they become unavoidable and costly field problems. Instead of managing disconnected drawings, coordination gaps, and last-minute design conflicts, contractors get a construction-ready model and drawing set that field teams can actually build from.

With BIM CoPilot, contractors provide their design documents, typically 2D PDFs or CAD files. From there, the expert BIM team at Attentive.ai takes over and manages the modeling and coordination process. The team develops a coordinated 3D model, resolves trade conflicts across major building systems, and delivers a construction-ready drawing set that supports on-site installation.

The workflow is simple: design documents go in, coordinated 3D models and construction-ready outputs come out.

How does BIM CoPilot work?

BIM CoPilot is built around a structured coordination process that takes projects from early design documentation to build-ready execution.

The process includes data collection, model federation, clash detection, resolution and coordination, and final coordinated model delivery. Each stage is managed by Attentive’s in-house BIM team, who work as an extension of the contractor.

The service covers 3D modeling across MEP, architecture, and structural trades, as well as constructability review, sheet and BOQ generation, Revit family creation, as-built modeling, and post-construction handover support. Contractors can simply share their project documents, while the BIM engineers at Attentive.ai manage the modeling, coordination, documentation, and final deliverables as an extension of their team.

Contractors do not need to log into a new platform or build workflows from scratch. They hand over the project documents, and Attentive’s BIM engineers manage the modeling, coordination, clash resolution, documentation, and final deliverables.

The service is built on globally recognized BIM frameworks, including ISO 19650, AIA BIM Standards, NBIMS-US v4, and LOD Specifications.

BIM CoPilot is available as a standalone, project-based service

BIM CoPilot is now available to all construction teams as a standalone, subscription-based service. Existing Attentive.ai customers can add BIM CoPilot to their current preconstruction workflow, while new customers can use it independently for BIM modeling, coordination, and construction documentation.

With this new venture, Attentive.ai now supports contractors across both sides of the project lifecycle: the preconstruction phase with Beam AI, where teams need faster takeoffs, estimates, and bid management. And now the build phase with BIM Co-Pilot, where they need coordinated models, clash-free documentation, and field-ready drawing sets.

In other words, contractors can now streamline preconstruction and support construction execution under one roof.

Pricing for BIM CoPilot is based on scope, complexity, trade coverage, and coordination requirements.

How BIM CoPilot fits into the Beam AI platform

Attentive.ai’s flagship product, Beam AI, helps estimators and contractors move faster through bid management, automated takeoffs, and AI-based estimates. BIM CoPilot extends that momentum into project execution.

For existing Attentive.ai customers, the journey can now move from automated takeoffs and estimates to bid tracking and then into BIM modeling, coordination, and construction-ready documentation. This creates a more connected path from the first estimate to the final construction document, without forcing contractors to switch vendors or rebuild workflows across multiple disconnected service providers.

“Construction teams do not just need faster bids. They need a stronger bridge between the bid they win and the project they have to deliver,” added Dhawan. “With BIM CoPilot, we are helping contractors carry that momentum forward into execution.”

BIM CoPilot is already live with early customers, with initial demand coming from contractors who have already scaled their estimating capacity with Beam AI and need BIM support to match the work they are winning.
