Why does a simple revit takeoff still cost hours

Install from the current model, not from a version that a later change replaced. Most of the rework on site comes from a change nobody flagged to the people building from the old file.

<p>BidLight versions every export. Each publish becomes a snapshot with its own files, author and milestone, so there is one answer to which model is current. The 11 hours a week many teams lose working that out go back to the job.</p>
<p>To keep the field on the right version:</p>
<ul><li>Publish after every meaningful change instead of overwriting the last file.</li><li>Compare the new revision to the one the field is building from. Differences are shown element by element, grouped by category.</li><li>Pin an issue to each changed element that affects work already underway and tag the person who has to act.</li><li>Close the issue only with a screenshot, a tagged user and the model commit that fixed it.</li></ul>
<p>The comparison takes about 15 minutes instead of a 90-minute meeting, and the change reaches the people who need it.</p>
