<p>That four people six days number is the exact thing BidLight is built to kill. One live record lives inside Revit and Navisworks, so when a late spec change moves a mechanical line item, you re-export and the BOQ line re-classifies itself instead of four estimators rebuilding it by hand.</p> <p>Here is what the workflow looks like when it hits:</p> <ol><li>Change the spec in the model.</li><li>Export from Revit or from the federated Navisworks model. Every export is versioned and diffed element by element.</li><li>Two AI models read geometry and metadata to classify the BOQ line items at 86% accuracy.</li><li>The line updates in minutes, not days, with labor, equipment, material and time costs.</li><li>Pricing pulls current numbers from the roughly $30,000 database plus Craftsman, 1Build and RSMeans.</li><li>The diff shows what actually moved, so nobody spends a coordination meeting finding out.</li></ol> <p>Plans start at $260 per licence per year for Basics and run to $590 for Max. Enterprise is custom. Field labour sitting idle on unresolved clashes runs $15K to $50K a week, so the math on a single spec change usually pays for the licence.</p>
