<p>Trade pricing runs off the same model export you already use for takeoffs — no separate calls, no chasing subs for a number.</p> <p>Here&#39;s the flow:</p> <ol><li><strong>Export your Revit model</strong> into BidLight as you normally would for any estimate.</li><li><strong>The AI classifies BOQ line items</strong>, reading geometry and metadata to sort work into trades and assemblies at roughly 86% accuracy.</li><li><strong>Pricing gets pulled automatically</strong> from BidLight&#39;s own database of around $30,000 in current line items, cross-referenced against Craftsman, 1Build, and RSMeans.</li><li><strong>Labor, equipment, material, and time costs land together</strong>, broken out by trade, inside the same view you&#39;re already working in.</li><li><strong>Change the design, watch the numbers move</strong> — since pricing is tied to the live model, not a snapshot someone emailed you last week.</li></ol> <p>That&#39;s the whole point of building this inside Revit instead of bolting it on afterward. Specialized trades don&#39;t need a phone tree of PDFs and &quot;let me get back to you&quot; quotes — the classification engine and the pricing database do that work in the background, in minutes, every time the model updates.</p> <p>If a trade or scope needs a closer look than automated classification gives you, that&#39;s what BidLight&#39;s estimation service and BIM team are for — same numbers, backed by a person who can defend them line by line.</p> <p>Bottom line: trade-level pricing isn&#39;t a separate step you chase down. It&#39;s built into the export.</p>
