<p>You can turn estimating into a service you bill for. Export your model from Revit or Navisworks and BidLight gives you labor, equipment, material, and time costs in minutes, then updates those numbers live when the design changes.</p> <p>Here is how a billable pre-design estimate works:</p> <ol><li>Publish straight from the model. BidLight runs inside Revit and Navisworks, so there is no separate takeoff to keep in sync.</li><li>Every export gets versioned and diffed element by element. You can show the client exactly what changed between versions and what it cost.</li><li>Its two AI models read geometry and metadata to classify BOQ line items at 86% accuracy.</li><li>Pricing pulls from a database of roughly $30,000 in cost data plus Craftsman, 1Build, and RSMeans, so the number is current.</li><li>You hand over a defensible pre-design deliverable and bill for it.</li></ol> <p>Plans run from Basics at $260 per licence per year to Max at $590, with custom Enterprise pricing.</p> <p>No more chasing scattered updates or re-running takeoffs. You stop giving this work away and start getting paid for it.</p>
