<p>Yes. You can send a budget number the same day the client asks, even with the model half finished.</p> <p>BidLight keeps one live record of the project inside Revit. You export the model, and labor, equipment, material, and time costs come back in minutes. When the design changes, the number updates in real time, so you are not rebuilding the estimate from scratch.</p> <p>Here is how it works:</p> <ol><li>Export your model from Revit or Navisworks.</li><li>Two AI models read the geometry and metadata and classify BOQ line items at 86% accuracy.</li><li>Pricing pulls from a roughly $30,000 database plus Craftsman, 1Build, and RSMeans.</li><li>You get labor, equipment, material, and time costs in minutes.</li><li>Change the design and the estimate updates live.</li></ol> <p>The win is that early estimates stop being a favor you do for free. You answer fast, you defend the number, and you can bill for it. Plans run from Basics at $260 per licence per year to Max at $590.</p> <p>The old way was 90 minutes of takeoff for a number you hoped held up. This is 15 minutes for a number that rides the same model the design team is still editing.</p>
