Submittals came home with me.

I started working for myself as a subcontractor after years with some of the largest general contractors and in Big Tech. Packaging submittals was the one job I couldn't hand off, because it takes trade knowledge. So it took my nights and weekends.

I couldn't find a tool I trusted to pick the right product, so we built Beem. We do the searching, and the decision stays yours.
