The $1,200 Surprise

Every time an architect moves a wall, your estimator loses 12 hours and $1,200 in productive time. Subcontractor rework shows up weeks later as a change order. Those hours add up to thousands of dollars and dozens of lost bid opportunities.

BidLight keeps the estimate alive inside Revit. Export the model once and get labor, equipment, material, and time costs in minutes. When the design changes, the estimate updates in real time. No re-doing takeoffs. No $1,200 surprises. The 86% accuracy means you can defend the numbers. The pricing database from 1Build, RSMeans, and Craftsman gives you current market rates. Plans start at $199 per month.

Firms that adopt this approach stop treating rework as normal. They deliver estimates faster and update them without cost. They turn early estimates into billable services. They catch hidden costs like a $14,000 duct reroute before it becomes a problem. The design team gets freedom to iterate. The estimator gets time to bid more projects. The owner gets a budget that stays realistic.

Architects move walls constantly. That's fine. With BidLight, every move costs 12 seconds, not 12 hours. Your estimator can focus on winning the next job instead of re-measuring the last one.
