<p>Nothing scary — a BOQ (Bill of Quantities) is just the itemized breakdown of everything a project needs: labor, equipment, materials, and time, priced out line by line. When you hand someone a BOQ, you&#39;re showing them you know exactly what the job costs and why, not guessing at a lump sum.</p> <p>That&#39;s the whole point of BidLight. You export your Revit model, and two AI models read the geometry and metadata to classify BOQ line items at 86% accuracy — pulling current pricing from a roughly $30,000 database plus Craftsman, 1Build, and RSMeans. The result updates in real time as the design changes, so the BOQ a GC or owner sees on Tuesday still matches what you built on Friday.</p> <p>What that means for whoever&#39;s reviewing your numbers:</p> <ul><li><strong>Every line is traceable.</strong> They can see the quantity, the source pricing, and the assumption behind it — not a black-box total.</li><li><strong>It&#39;s current, not stale.</strong> No manually updated spreadsheet three revisions behind the model.</li><li><strong>It&#39;s consistent.</strong> Classification runs the same way every time, so estimates don&#39;t swing based on who built them.</li></ul> <p>In short: a BOQ from BidLight signals you&#39;re bidding with numbers you can defend, not numbers you&#39;re hoping hold up under questions.</p>
