What is the level of accuracy for bidlights cost estimate and how is bidlight able to handle updated cost in real time

1
I really need my problem to be solved. I spend lots of times calculating labor and material cost because I have to manually search for quotes. I heard Bidlight has this automated feature, and I really want to try it out. And what are the necessary steps to achieving this?

BidLight estimate can get up to 97% accuracy, all depends on the amount and quality of information you have in your Revit Model and whether you are using BidLight Cost database or your own Cost database. To achieve this follow these steps: 1/ login to BidLight desktop App, click Cost Database 2/ select a version which is a template/catalog that you have or create a new one 3/ inside the database select menu catalog (import/export excel) 4/ adjust bidlight prices based on your own need 5/ import excel in your company database or "Move prices from Bidlight DB to your company DB" 6/ head to "Catalog Mapping" page, drag and drop required equipment/crew for each line item 7/ save and go back to the lobby 8/ click estimate, select your recently edited version (template) and click next. 9/ the resulting estimate should reflect the new version updated with the equipment/labor mapping that you created in the database.
