<p>You stop padding when you can see what changed in the model, because padding is what teams do when they do not trust what they have. A clash that surfaces on site burns $5,000 to $50,000, so people hedge.</p> <p>BidLight gives you something to trust. It runs inside Revit and Navisworks.</p> <ul><li><strong>See what moved.</strong> Every publish is a versioned snapshot, and any two revisions compare element by element.</li><li><strong>Pin the problems.</strong> Issues attach to the elements they concern, with the sheet and revision attached.</li><li><strong>Close with proof.</strong> A screenshot, a tagged user and the model commit that fixed it.</li><li><strong>Know who is behind.</strong> The 6am digest and the project view show every issue against its owner while there is still schedule to recover.</li></ul> <p>Catch the clash in the model for about $50 and you do not need the cushion. You also avoid the $15K to $50K a week in idle field labour that sits behind an unresolved one.</p>
