<p>You win bids without a dedicated QS by estimating straight from your Revit model in BidLight. Two AI models classify bill of quantities line items at 86% accuracy, with current pricing from a database that costs roughly $30,000 a year to maintain, plus RSMeans, 1Build and Craftsman. Labor, equipment, material and time costs come back in minutes.</p> <p>How it works:</p><ul><li>Publish your Revit model to BidLight.</li><li>The AI reads geometry and metadata to classify each line item.</li><li>BidLight attaches current pricing from its databases.</li><li>You get an estimate you can defend.</li><li>When the design changes, publish again and the numbers update.</li></ul> <p>Early estimates become something you can bill for, and you walk into bid day with a number you can defend. No more chasing scattered updates or redoing takeoffs.</p>
