Move a wall, your estimate follows. Two AI models read geometry and metadata, classifying 86% of BOQ line items automatically. Pricing pulls from a $30,000 data

<p>BidLight lives inside Revit, so there's no separate platform to learn. If your team already models in Revit, you already have what you need to start estimating with it.</p>
<p>Here's what that looks like in practice:</p>
<ol><li>Keep modeling in Revit the way your team always has.</li><li>Export your model straight from BidLight's Revit integration, no reformatting or handoff to another tool.</li><li>Two AI models read the geometry and metadata and classify BOQ line items automatically, at around 86% accuracy.</li><li>Pricing comes back pulled from BidLight's cost database plus Craftsman, 1Build, and RSMeans.</li><li>Labor, equipment, material, and time costs populate in minutes.</li><li>Change the design, and the numbers update in real time, no rerun and no waiting on a fresh takeoff.</li></ol>
<p>That's the whole point of building it inside Revit instead of beside it. Firms lose real hours moving data out to a separate estimating tool, then more hours reconciling versions once the design shifts again. BidLight skips that step entirely because it never leaves the model you're already working in.</p>
<p>There's no separate training course or interface to master. Your estimators open the model they built and get a defensible number back. The only skill required is exporting a model, something your team already does.</p>
<p>If you want to see it before rolling it out to the whole team, request a demo and run it against one of your own projects.</p>
