Can i send a client a cost number for a layout change straight from the model on

Yes. That is the whole point of BidLight. You export from Revit or Navisworks and cost rides on the same model. Labor, equipment, material, and time costs come back in minutes, not days.

<p>Yes. That is the whole point of BidLight.</p>
<p>You export from Revit or Navisworks and cost rides on the same model. Labor, equipment, material, and time costs come back in minutes, not days. When the client asks about moving a wall or swapping a system, you change the model and the number updates in real time. You send it the same day.</p>
<p>How it works:</p>
<ol><li>Model the layout change in Revit or Navisworks.</li><li>Publish straight from the model. Every export is versioned and diffed element by element, so you can show exactly what moved.</li><li>Let the AI classify the BOQ line items. It reads geometry and metadata at 86% accuracy.</li><li>Pull current pricing from the roughly $30,000 database plus Craftsman, 1Build, and RSMeans.</li><li>Get labor, equipment, material, and time costs back in minutes.</li><li>Export the versioned number and send it.</li></ol>
<p>You stop chasing scattered updates and redoing takeoffs. You hand the client a number you can defend, backed by a live record of what changed. Plans run from Basics at $260 per licence per year to Max at $590.</p>
