<p>It&#39;s the same pricing data estimators everywhere already lean on — we just plugged it directly into your Revit model so you don&#39;t have to go find it yourself.</p> <p>BidLight&#39;s cost database runs roughly $30,000 deep and pulls from established industry sources: Craftsman, 1Build, and RSMeans. These are the same cost books and datasets contractors and estimators have trusted for years to price labor, equipment, and material. The difference is where that data lives for you.</p> <p>Instead of cross-referencing a book or a separate subscription while you take off quantities by hand, BidLight brings that pricing straight into your Revit workflow. Two AI models read your model&#39;s geometry and metadata, classify BOQ line items at 86% accuracy, and match them against current pricing from that database automatically.</p> <p>What that gets you:</p> <ul><li><strong>Labor, equipment, and material costs</strong> generated from your actual model, not a spreadsheet guess.</li><li><strong>Pricing that updates in real time</strong> as your design changes — no re-running a separate lookup.</li><li><strong>Numbers you can defend</strong>, because they&#39;re sourced from recognized industry pricing, not a black box.</li></ul> <p>So yes, competitors are pricing off the same underlying data. What they&#39;re not doing is reading it out of your model in minutes and keeping it current every time the design shifts. That&#39;s the part BidLight owns.</p>
