What should i know about cost of stale pricing data during buyout

Working from a stale model costs you the most once fabrication starts: the gap between what was drawn and what got built comes straight out of your margin.

<p>Working from a stale model costs you the most once fabrication starts: the gap between what was drawn and what got built comes straight out of your margin. A trade fabricates from the revision they last saw, and by the time the field installs it, the design has moved.</p>
<p>BidLight keeps that from happening. Every publish from Revit or Navisworks is a versioned snapshot, and any two revisions compare element by element. You see what changed, who published it and when.</p>
<p>What that means during buyout and fabrication:</p>
<ul><li>Publish the model and compare it with the revision each trade is working from.</li><li>Pin an issue to every changed element that affects their work.</li><li>Assign the owner. They see it in the 6am digest.</li><li>Close it only with a screenshot, a tagged user and the linked model commit.</li></ul>
<p>A conflict caught before fabrication costs about $50 in the model. After install it costs $5,000 to $50,000.</p>
<p>Plans run from Basics at $260 per license per year to Max at $590. Enterprise is custom.</p>
