<p>Most of last month&#39;s estimating hours went to chasing. You were comparing exports side by side like it was 2005. You were hunting for issues scattered across Teams, email, and Bluebeam. You were in coordination meetings spending two hours just figuring out who moved a duct and when.</p> <p>That is not estimating. That is archaeology.</p> <p>BidLight runs inside Revit and Navisworks. Every export is versioned and diffed element by element. You see exactly what changed, by whom, and when. Issues come to you by 6am in a daily digest of what you own. No more three-week slip discoveries at the GC meeting.</p> <p>When you do take off, two AI models read geometry and metadata to classify BOQ line items at 86% accuracy. They pull current pricing from a roughly $30,000 database plus Craftsman, 1Build, and RSMeans. Labor, equipment, material, and time costs come back in minutes. Change the design and the number updates in real time.</p> <p>That means the hours you spent redoing takeoffs go back to winning work. Teams see estimates in minutes and a 35% higher win rate. One customer saved 680 hours. If you bill for early estimates, that is revenue instead of overhead.</p> <p>Plans run from Basics at $260 per licence per year to Max at $590. Enterprise pricing is custom. The point is simple: stop paying field labor to wait. Every unresolved clash week costs $15K to $50K in idle field labor. Three weeks of that and you have spent more than BidLight costs.</p>
