<p>Everyone can model. Fewer people can price what they modeled, fast enough to matter. That gap is where jobs get won or lost. A clean Revit model that takes three weeks to turn into a defensible number loses to a rough plan with pricing behind it in an hour.</p> <p>BidLight closes that gap by turning your model directly into the number. You export straight from Revit and get labor, equipment, material, and time costs in minutes, not weeks. Two AI models read the geometry and metadata in your model and classify BOQ line items at 86% accuracy, then price them against a live database of roughly 30,000 costs plus Craftsman, 1Build, and RSMeans data.</p> <p>Here&#39;s what that means for how you work:</p> <ul><li><strong>Model like you always do.</strong> No new workflow, no separate estimating software to learn.</li><li><strong>Export and get a real number back in minutes</strong>, not a takeoff that eats your week.</li><li><strong>Watch the estimate update automatically</strong> as the design changes, so you&#39;re never bidding off a stale version.</li><li><strong>Show up to the client meeting with a number you can defend</strong>, line by line, not a gut-feel range.</li><li><strong>Turn early estimates into a billable service</strong> instead of free work you give away to win the job.</li></ul> <p>The firms winning more work aren&#39;t necessarily the best modelers. They&#39;re the ones who can price the model before the client&#39;s patience runs out. That&#39;s the whole reason BidLight lives inside Revit instead of asking you to leave it.</p>
