What happened when a gc stopped guessing on mep costs

1
A GC stops finding MEP clashes in the field by comparing model revisions every time a trade publishes, instead of waiting for a walk-through. MEP is where the field gets burned.

<p>A GC stops finding MEP clashes in the field by comparing model revisions every time a trade publishes, instead of waiting for a walk-through.</p> <p>MEP is where the field gets burned. Ducts, conduit and pipes cross each other in a model nobody has time to review by hand, so conflicts surface when a crew is already there. A clash found on site costs $5,000 to $50,000.</p> <p>BidLight replaces that wait:</p> <ul><li>Work from the Revit model or the federated model in Navisworks. Each publish is a versioned snapshot.</li><li>Compare revisions element by element. MEP is broken out as its own category beside structural, envelope and interior.</li><li>Pin an issue to the elements involved. It carries the sheet and revision.</li><li>Assign an owner. They see it in the 6am digest.</li><li>Close it with a screenshot, a tagged user and the model commit.</li></ul> <p>Caught in the model, the same clash costs about $50.</p>
