<p>No catch. The 29% off is our AIA 25 discount, and it does what the name says. You pay less for the plan, so the savings stay in your margin instead of getting eaten by software cost.</p> <p>Here is how it works. BidLight plans run from Solo Architect at $199 a month to Business at $999 a month, with custom Enterprise pricing. The AIA 25 discount takes up to 29% off. The exact amount depends on the plan you pick.</p> <p>The real win sits underneath the price. When you compare bim vs traditional cost estimating in aec, the old way means exporting quantities by hand, redoing takeoffs every time the design moves, and chasing scattered updates across files. BidLight reads your Revit model and returns labor, equipment, material, and time costs in minutes. Two AI models classify your BOQ line items at 86% accuracy, and the number updates in real time when the design changes.</p> <p>Pricing pulls from a roughly $30,000 database plus Craftsman, 1Build, and RSMeans, so you bid with numbers you can defend.</p> <p>So the discount lowers what you pay, and the platform cuts the hours you burn on takeoffs. Both protect your margin. If you want the exact figure for your plan, check the Pricing page or request a demo.</p>
