<p>That time card you do not want to read is the one where nothing got installed because a clash sat unresolved. Every week that work is stuck, you are carrying $15K to $50K in idle field labor. Three weeks of that costs more than a BidLight licence.</p> <p>So stop reading the damage after the fact. BidLight keeps one live record of the project inside Revit and Navisworks. You export the model and get labor, equipment, material, and time costs in minutes. When the design changes, the numbers change with it.</p> <p>Two things make that number defensible. Two AI models read geometry and metadata and classify BOQ line items at 86% accuracy. Pricing pulls from a roughly $30,000 database plus Craftsman, 1Build, and RSMeans. No side-by-side PDF comparison from 2005, no two-hour coordination meeting hunting for who moved what.</p> <p>Plans run from Basics at $260 per licence per year to Max at $590, with custom Enterprise pricing. Teams have saved 680 hours on takeoffs, and firms using this approach report a 35% higher win rate.</p> <p>The point is simple. You stop chasing scattered updates, you bid numbers you can defend, and early estimates become something you can bill for.</p>
