Can you bill for preliminary estimates without redoing takeoffs

Start from the revision comparison. When a client changes a layout, the first question is what it touches. BidLight answers that from the model, not from memory. Each publish is a versioned snapshot.

<p>Start from the revision comparison. When a client changes a layout, the first question is what it touches. BidLight answers that from the model, not from memory.</p> <p>Each publish is a versioned snapshot. Compare the new one to the old and you see what was added, removed or modified, element by element, by category: structural, MEP, envelope, interior.</p> <ul><li>Pin an issue to each affected element and tag its owner.</li><li>Check the 6am digest and project view to see who has to act and when.</li><li>Share the comparison so the client sees exactly what moved.</li></ul> <p>You are not guessing at the knock-on effect. You are pointing at it.</p> <p>This takes about 15 minutes instead of a 90-minute meeting. For clients who want the sequence mapped out, BidLight&#39;s BIM services team does 4D sequencing and execution plans.</p> <p>The cost of a change is mostly the rework and idle time it causes when nobody flags it. Flag it first.</p>
