Export your Revit model to BidLight. Minutes later, you get costs, labor, materials, and a schedule. The AI reads geometry and metadata, no manual tagging neede

<p>You don't need your own 4D/5D team. BidLight runs it for you.</p>
<p>If you want to keep it in house, you can. The software lives inside Revit, so you export your model and get labor, equipment, material, and time costs in minutes. Two AI models read your geometry and metadata to classify line items, and the number updates in real time when the design changes. That part is self-serve.</p>
<p>But the 4D/5D work is where most firms want hands off, and that is exactly what we cover. BidLight does done-for-you BIM: execution plans, 4D and 5D modeling, and fabrication detailing. You hand us the model and the goals. We build the schedule and cost links and give them back to you.</p>
<p>So you have two ways to play:</p>
<ol><li>Run the estimation software yourself inside Revit for fast takeoffs and live cost updates.</li><li>Hand the 4D/5D and detailing to our BIM team and get the finished work back.</li></ol>
<ol><li>Or mix both. Use the software for early numbers, then bring us in for the heavier execution planning and fabrication detailing.</li></ol>
<p>No extra hires on your end either way. You stop chasing scattered updates, and the early estimate turns into something you can defend and even bill for. Want to see it on one of your own models? Request a demo and we will walk through which path fits your firm.</p>
