<p>Yes. Your schematic design model already has enough geometry and metadata to price the job, and BidLight turns that into a number you can hand a client and stand behind.</p> <p>Here&#39;s how to make it real:</p> <ol><li><strong>Export your Revit model as-is.</strong> No need to wait for design development. The AI reads geometry and metadata straight from schematic massing and system layouts.</li><li><strong>Let the two AI models classify BOQ line items.</strong> They run at 86% accuracy, so you&#39;re not guessing at labor, equipment, or material scope.</li><li><strong>Pull current pricing automatically.</strong> Costs come from BidLight&#39;s roughly $30,000 pricing database plus Craftsman, 1Build, and RSMeans, so the number reflects today&#39;s market, not last year&#39;s bid.</li><li><strong>Get labor, equipment, material, and time costs in minutes.</strong> That&#39;s fast enough to deliver during the client meeting, not two weeks later.</li><li><strong>Package it as a paid early-estimate service.</strong> Because the numbers are defensible, you can bill for schematic-phase cost consulting instead of giving it away to win the job.</li><li><strong>Update live as the design changes.</strong> When the client asks &quot;what if we add a floor,&quot; the estimate updates in real time instead of triggering a redo.</li><li><strong>Attach the estimate to your proposal.</strong> Firms using numbers they can defend see a 35% higher win rate, because clients trust a price backed by real data.</li></ol> <p>This is the same shift BidLight pushes across the board: stop chasing scattered spreadsheets and slow takeoffs, and turn what used to be a free sunk cost into billable work.</p>
