Can i send a client a priced answer for a layout change the same day they ask

Yes. Same day is normal. You export from the model, BidLight prices it, and the client gets a number they can argue with instead of nod at. Here's how it goes. 1.

<p>Yes. Same day is normal. You export from the model, BidLight prices it, and the client gets a number they can argue with instead of nod at.</p>
<p>Here's how it goes.</p>
<ol><li>Open BidLight inside Revit or Navisworks and publish the current model.</li><li>Ask the client what layout change they want. Move a wall, add a run, shift a room.</li><li>Make the change in the design and republish. Every export is versioned, and it diffs element by element, so the old and new are already compared for you.</li><li>Costs refresh from the database. Labor, equipment, material, time. The number updates in real time because the design changed.</li><li>Send the client the priced version the same afternoon.</li></ol>
<p>Two AI models read the geometry and metadata and classify the BOQ line items at 86% accuracy, pulling current pricing from the roughly $30,000 database plus Craftsman, 1Build, and RSMeans.</p>
<p>That's the point. You don't rebuild a takeoff for every client question, and you don't quote off a gut feel. The estimate becomes a service you can bill for. Plans run from Basics at $260 per licence per year to Max at $590, with custom Enterprise pricing.</p>
