Why am i still redoing takeoffs every time the model updates

1
Because the review lives in your head and in files, not in a comparison. When the model changes, you have to rediscover what moved. BidLight does that part for you.

<p>Because the review lives in your head and in files, not in a comparison. When the model changes, you have to rediscover what moved.</p> <p>BidLight does that part for you. Every export is a versioned snapshot, so when the model updates you compare it to the previous revision and see what was added, removed or modified, element by element, by category.</p> <ul><li>Publish the update from Revit or Navisworks.</li><li>Compare it to the last revision you reviewed.</li><li>Look only at the categories that changed: structural, MEP, envelope, interior.</li><li>Pin an issue to anything that needs action and tag the owner.</li></ul> <p>Issues you already closed stay closed, with their screenshot, tagged user and model commit on record. You do not reopen them to prove they were handled.</p> <p>This is where the 11 hours a week go on many teams: working out what is current and what changed. The comparison takes about 15 minutes instead of a 90-minute meeting.</p>
