<p>You stop waiting on the QS and open BidLight. The estimate is live because it&#39;s tied to the Revit model. The moment someone moves a duct or swaps a material, the number updates. No exports, no re-takeoffs, no chasing spreadsheets.</p> <p>Here&#39;s the workflow:<br/>1. Publish your model straight from Revit.<br/>2. BidLight reads geometry and metadata, classifies line items at 86% accuracy.<br/>3. It pulls current pricing from RSMeans, Craftsman, and 1Build.<br/>4. You get labor, equipment, material, and time costs in minutes.<br/>5. Any change in the model—BidLight diffs it and updates the estimate.</p> <p>That means you walk into every meeting with a number you can defend. It&#39;s not stale. It&#39;s not &quot;we&#39;ll have it by Friday.&quot; It&#39;s the number, right now.</p> <p>Teams using BidLight report saving 680 hours a year and winning 35% more work. Because when you can answer &quot;what&#39;s this cost now?&quot; on the spot, you stop losing credibility and start closing jobs.</p>
