Smarter Building Starts Here: How Bidlight’s Material Prediction Tool Helps AEC Pros Cut Waste and Boost Efficiency
In the ever-evolving world of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), professionals are constantly seeking innovative ways to optimize resources, reduce waste, and stay within budget—all while delivering high-performance projects. One of the most pressing challenges faced on job sites today is material waste, which can account for up to 30% of total construction costs if left unchecked.
That’s where Bidlight comes in—offering a smarter way to build with its precision-driven Material Prediction Tool.
Predict. Plan. Perform.
Bidlight’s Material Prediction Tool leverages the power of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to deliver highly accurate forecasts of the materials required for a project—before a single brick is laid. By tapping directly into your BIM model, Bidlight analyzes every design element and generates a detailed material estimate tailored to your specific project scope.
No guesswork. No over-ordering. No underestimating.
This level of detail doesn’t just reduce uncertainty; it delivers real, measurable impact. On average, AEC professionals using Bidlight’s prediction tool have seen up to 18% reduction in material waste and costs.
How It Works
Bidlight syncs seamlessly with your BIM workflows. Once your model is uploaded, the Material Prediction Tool scans every layer—structural, architectural, and MEP—identifying what’s needed down to the last beam, bolt, and bag of cement.
The results?
Accurate procurement planning
Fewer on-site delays due to missing or excess materials
Smarter budget allocation
A more sustainable job site
Smarter Building for a Greener Future
Reducing waste doesn’t just cut costs—it’s also a step toward more sustainable construction practices. With rising environmental regulations and growing pressure to build greener, tools like Bidlight’s material prediction engine offer a competitive edge. It ensures you’re not just meeting compliance but leading the charge in sustainable, data-driven construction.
Whether you're a project manager, architect, estimator, or contractor, having the ability to accurately forecast what you need and when you need it can redefine how you work—from planning to punch list.
