<p>Worth being straight with you here: BidLight isn&#39;t a clash detection tool. We&#39;re not scanning your model for pipes running through beams. That job belongs to coordination software, and we&#39;d rather be honest about our lane than take credit for someone else&#39;s feature.</p> <p>What BidLight actually does is read the geometry and metadata in your Revit model and turn it into labor, equipment, material, and time costs, using two AI models trained to classify BOQ line items at 86% accuracy. Because that link stays live, the moment you change the design, the numbers update with it.</p> <p>That&#39;s where problems tend to surface. If a family goes unassigned, a quantity jumps for no reason, or a line item suddenly reprices in a way that doesn&#39;t match the drawings, you see it fast, right in the estimate, instead of finding out at bid time or worse, mid-construction. It&#39;s not a clash caught in 3D. It&#39;s a cost anomaly caught before it becomes a change order.</p> <p>So if you&#39;re hoping BidLight replaces your clash detection workflow, it won&#39;t. But paired with one, it gives you a second layer of defense: your coordination tool catches physical conflicts, and BidLight catches the cost and quantity conflicts that geometry checks alone tend to miss.</p>
