🧠 Model Health Analyzes Revit models for issues that affect estimation and constructability. Flags missing data, over-detailed families, performance issues, or non-standard parameters. Ensures the model is clean, compliant, and ready for accurate costing. 📁 Projects Main hub for managing design or construction projects within BidLight. Allows switching between multiple projects, each with its own data, models, and estimates. 📊 Dashboard A summary view with KPIs, project statuses, cost trends, and alerts. Helps users track project health, financials, and progress at a glance. 🏗️ Design & Cost Intelligence Tools 💰 Pricing Catalogs A database of material, labor, and equipment costs. May include RSMeans, Craftsman, 1Build, or custom internal catalogs. Used to assign unit prices to items in your Revit model. 📐 Parameters Manages the metadata/attributes linked to model elements (e.g., cost codes, location, material spec). Enables structured classification and filtering for estimation. 🧮 Data Warehouse Central repository where all model data, quantities, costs, and historical snapshots are stored. Useful for analytics, reporting, and exporting large datasets. 🔍 Filter View Custom view or query builder to filter model elements by categories, parameters, phase, etc. Helps isolate certain disciplines (e.g., all structural steel) for targeted analysis. 📁 Document & Revision Control 📑 Doc Control Tracks uploaded documents, such as specs, contracts, or drawings. Manages version history and document approval workflows. 🔁 Revision Settings Allows defining how design revisions are handled, tracked, and compared. Supports side-by-side cost/version comparisons to track impact of changes. 🧾 Resource & Cost Management 📉 Resource Tracking Tracks projected vs actual use of materials, labor, and equipment. Tied to scheduling and procurement phases to control resource flow. 🏢 Organizational & User Settings ⚙️ Company Settings & Project Settings Set company-wide or project-specific rules, preferences, currencies, cost structures, etc. 🔐 User, Roles & Permissions Controls access for different users (engineers, estimators, managers). Ensures secure and role-based use of sensitive data. ⚙️ Admin & Configuration 🧱 Milestones Sets key design or project stages (e.g., SD, DD, CD) to align cost tracking and progress. 🧩 Discipline Settings Manages how different design disciplines (Architecture, MEP, Structural) are handled in the estimation process. 🔬 Model Health Settings Customize what checks are run in the “Model Health” module — for example, parameter completeness or modeling standards. Each of these tools contributes to a full-cycle workflow from design validation → estimation → revision tracking → resource and earnings monitoring — especially tailored for BIM-based projects in AEC.
