What s actually worth knowing about that 86 accuracy number

86% is how often our two AI models correctly classify your Revit model's line items. It's not a promise that every price is dead-on.

<p>86% is the classification accuracy of our two AI models reading your Revit model, not a promise that every price is dead-on.</p>
<p>Here's what's actually happening. When you export a model, the AI reads geometry and metadata to sort line items into the right BOQ categories, framing, MEP, finishes, and so on. 86% of those classifications land correctly without you touching them. The rest get flagged so you can confirm or correct in a couple clicks instead of building the whole takeoff by hand.</p>
<p>Pricing accuracy is a separate layer. Once a line item is classified, BidLight pulls current numbers from our own roughly $30,000 pricing database plus Craftsman, 1Build, and RSMeans. That's what keeps the estimate grounded in real, current costs, and why it updates automatically when the design changes instead of going stale.</p>
<p>What that 86% is worth to you in practice: you're reviewing a small slice of line items instead of building every one from scratch. That's the time savings, not a claim that you can skip review entirely. Treat it like a strong first pass from a good junior estimator: fast, mostly right, and still worth your eyes before it goes into a bid you have to defend.</p>
