<p>You keep it by moving pricing out of one person's head and into estimates that run on the model and stay with the company. In BidLight, two AI models read geometry and metadata to classify BOQ line items at 86% accuracy. Current pricing comes from a database that costs roughly $30,000 a year to maintain, plus RSMeans, 1Build and Craftsman. The numbers are defensible, and the whole team works from them.</p> <p>Set it up once:</p> <ul><li>Publish your model from Revit, or the federated model from Navisworks.</li><li>BidLight classifies the BOQ and pulls current pricing.</li><li>Review and adjust. Your senior estimator's refinements stay in the estimate instead of a private spreadsheet.</li><li>Share the estimate so everyone works from the same live numbers.</li><li>When the design changes, the estimate updates, so nobody prices from a stale takeoff.</li></ul> <p>The knowledge that used to leave with one person becomes part of the project record. You keep bidding with numbers you can stand behind.</p>
