<p>Stop passing files around and publish from the model. Each publish in BidLight becomes a versioned snapshot with its own files, author and milestone, so there is one place to look and one answer to which version is current.</p> <p>That matters because teams lose about 11 hours a week working out which model version is current. Add 47 versions of the same markup and nobody trusts any of them.</p> <ul><li>Publish from Revit, or from the federated model in Navisworks, instead of emailing files.</li><li>Name the milestone on each publish so the team knows what stage it represents.</li><li>Compare any two revisions element by element, grouped by structural, MEP, envelope and interior.</li><li>Tell people what changed with the comparison, not a long email.</li></ul> <p>The comparison takes about 15 minutes instead of a 90-minute meeting. And the record keeps the history as the work happens, so nobody rebuilds it from email threads later.</p>
