<p>The math is why coordination teams stop arguing about software cost. One unresolved clash stalls the work behind it, and that is $15K to $50K in idle field labour every week. Three weeks of one clash costs more than BidLight runs for the entire year.</p> <p>Here is how to think about it.</p> <ol><li>Count the labour behind a single unresolved clash. Crews standing by, equipment rented, schedule slipping.</li><li>Multiply by the weeks it sits. A clash found in the model costs minutes to reroute. The same clash found in the field costs a crew, a lift, a rework order and a delay.</li><li>Add the meeting time. Two hours a week spent finding out who moved a duct is billable hours nobody recovers.</li><li>Compare that to a licence. Basics is $260 per user per year. Max is $590. Neither number is close to one bad week.</li></ol> <p>BidLight keeps one live record inside Revit and Navisworks, so the clash gets caught before it reaches the field. You export, you get labor, equipment, material and time costs in minutes, and the number updates when the design changes.</p> <p>That is the math. The field fix is never the cheap option.</p>
