<p>Yes, you can turn a 20-minute BidLight estimate into a $4,000 fee—and own the room when you present it. The math is simple: your expertise sets the price, BidLight does the heavy lifting.</p>
<p>Here's how it works:</p>
<ol><li><strong>Export your Revit model</strong>—no manual takeoff, no chasing scattered updates.</li><li><strong>Run BidLight's AI</strong>—two models classify BOQ line items at 86% accuracy and pull current pricing from a $30,000 database plus Craftsman, 1Build, and RSMeans.</li><li><strong>Get a complete estimate</strong>—labor, equipment, material, and time costs in minutes.</li><li><strong>Defend your numbers</strong>—real-time data means you can justify every line item.</li><li><strong>Bill for it</strong>—turn early estimates into a service you can charge for, like the $4,000 preliminary estimate you mentioned.</li></ol>
<p>Because BidLight lives inside Revit, updates are automatic: when the design changes, your numbers change with it. You stay the expert, and BidLight keeps you fast and accurate. That's how you win more work and make estimation a revenue stream, not a headache.</p>
