What should you do if your estimate still prices steel at last month s rate

Stop the work that depends on the old revision and confirm what changed, before the crew installs something that no longer matches.

<p>Stop the work that depends on the old revision and confirm what changed, before the crew installs something that no longer matches. Building from last month's steel model means rework on one of your biggest packages, and the cost shows up as idle crews and change orders.</p>
<p>BidLight shows what moved without a meeting:</p>
<ul><li>Publish the current Revit or Navisworks model. Each publish is a versioned snapshot with its own files, author and milestone.</li><li>Compare it to the revision the field is using. Differences appear element by element, with structural, MEP, envelope and interior broken out.</li><li>Pin an issue to every steel element that moved and assign an owner.</li><li>Owners see it in their 6am digest, so the fix does not wait for the next coordination meeting.</li><li>Close each issue only with a screenshot, a tagged user and the linked model commit.</li></ul>
<p>The cost of a stale revision is not one wrong beam. It is a week of idle labour, $15K to $50K, while everyone works out which version is current.</p>
