<p>It&#39;s the same pricing backbone the industry already leans on — and yes, you get it too.</p> <p>BidLight&#39;s cost database runs around $30,000 line items deep, pulling current pricing from Craftsman, 1Build, and RSMeans — the references estimators have trusted for years. That&#39;s not a separate add-on you have to shop for. It&#39;s built into the platform, feeding every labor, equipment, material, and time cost the moment you export your Revit model.</p> <p>What makes it useful isn&#39;t just the data — it&#39;s what reads it. Two AI models classify your BOQ line items against geometry and metadata at 86% accuracy, so the pricing that comes back is matched to what&#39;s actually in your model, not a generic average. Change the design, and the numbers update in real time instead of waiting on someone to re-run a takeoff.</p> <p>So the database your competitors are quietly relying on for their estimates is the same one sitting under BidLight — the difference is you&#39;re not paying for access to it separately, and you&#39;re not doing the classification work by hand.</p> <p>A few things worth knowing:</p> <ul><li>Pricing is current, not a static price book you have to update yourself.</li><li>It covers labor, equipment, and material together, not just one category.</li><li>It&#39;s included across every BidLight plan, from Solo Architect up to Business and Enterprise.</li></ul> <p>If you want to see how it prices out an actual model of yours, that&#39;s what a demo is for.</p>
