Your coordination team is working blind
These are the questions that cost money every week, and the reason they are hard to answer is that nothing on the project keeps a record of them.
Who changed what?
Someone moved a duct. Nobody knows who, or when, or why. The coordination meeting spends two hours finding out.
Who's behind?
You find out at the GC coordination meeting, three weeks after the slip started.
Where are the issues?
Scattered across Teams, email and Bluebeam. Nobody can find the one they need.
What changed between exports?
Comparing PDFs side by side, the way it was done in 2005.
What is the delay costing?
Every week a clash sits unresolved, the work behind it stops. That's $15K-$50K in field labour standing idle, every week. Three weeks of that and you've spent more than BidLight costs for the entire project.
Why are field and office out of step?
Your BIM team models one thing. The field installs another. RFI responses sit in email for days. Redlines from the superintendent never make it back to the model. By the time the gap surfaces, the concrete is already poured.
The real cost isn't money. It's trust. When you can't see who did what, accountability disappears.
One record of the project, kept as the work happens
Four things run underneath your coordination process, all the time. None of them wait for someone to file a report.
The platform, run by the team that built it
Some projects need the software. Some need the coordination handled for them. BidLight covers both, on the same platform you'd use yourself.
Cost, as the model changes
Powered by Advanced databases
BidLight cost engine

Craftsman book
Comprehensive resource for construction costs, labor rates, and material prices.
1build

CESK data (Coming soon)
Reliable cost estimating service with extensive construction data and insights.
ENR cost data (Coming soon)
Industry-standard source for current construction costs and price trends.
BidLight 3.0 is an advanced estimation platform powered by two sophisticated AI models: a data classifier (based on metadata) and a geometry classifier (based on shapes).
These models enable BidLight to understand geometry and accurately match it to the correct price items, achieving 86% accuracy.
Trained on a vast construction dataset, BidLight 3.0 can predict costs for labor, equipment, materials, and time. The result is an automated BOQ classification process that works seamlessly with all construction data and geometry, eliminating the need for human intervention.
Coordination that starts inside Revit
Every export versioned, straight from Revit
Publish from Revit and the export becomes a versioned snapshot — who exported it, when, component count and model size — sorted newest first, with milestone badges.
Element-level diffs between revisions
See what was added, removed and modified between any two revisions, sorted by category. Click any element to focus it in 3D.
Issues pinned to Revit elements
Every issue attaches to the element it concerns and captures its own 3D screenshot. Assigned by trade, tracked until it is resolved. Nothing lives in your inbox.
Cost and quantities inside Revit
A construction cost database inside Revit, AI-classified assemblies and line items, and estimate export to Excel — read off the same model you are already coordinating.
