<p>Inside Revit, BOQ classification is the step between an exported model and a usable estimate.</p> <p>Here&#39;s what happens:</p> <ol><li><strong>You export your model</strong> as usual — no extra formatting or manual tagging required.</li><li><strong>Two AI models read the model&#39;s geometry and metadata</strong> — element types, dimensions, assemblies, and the data already embedded in your Revit families.</li><li><strong>Line items get classified automatically</strong>, matching what&#39;s actually built in the model to the right BOQ categories — walls, MEP runs, structural members, finishes, and so on.</li><li><strong>Accuracy runs at 86%</strong>, so the bulk of your BOQ is labeled without you touching a spreadsheet. You review and adjust the remainder instead of building the whole list from scratch.</li><li><strong>Pricing gets attached from BidLight&#39;s database</strong> — roughly $30,000 of current cost data, cross-checked against Craftsman, 1Build, and RSMeans — so line items come with labor, equipment, and material costs already priced.</li><li><strong>The estimate updates in real time</strong> as the design changes, so the classification isn&#39;t a one-time snapshot — it stays current with your model.</li></ol> <p>The point isn&#39;t just automation for its own sake. It&#39;s removing the manual takeoff step where details get missed and hours get burned, so you spend your time reviewing numbers instead of building the list that produces them.</p> <p>One less headache, and a defensible number waiting when you&#39;re done.</p>
