Yes, BidLight is fully compatible with Autodesk Revit through its dedicated plugin, allowing you to perform real-time cost estimation directly within the Revit environment. This integration enables you to generate instant estimates for labor, equipment, and materials, along with detailed breakdowns of costs and timelines, all without leaving Revit .

Regarding AutoCAD, while BidLight does not offer a direct plugin, it supports interoperability through open BIM standards. This means you can export models from AutoCAD in formats like IFC, which can then be imported into BidLight for cost estimation and analysis .
