<p>You hit the deadline because BidLight re-runs the BOQ automatically when the model changes. No manual takeoff, no waiting for updated spreadsheets. The two AI models read the geometry and metadata, classify line items at 86% accuracy, and pull current pricing from a database of roughly $30,000 data points plus Craftsman, 1Build, and RSMeans. That gives you a defensible number in minutes.</p> <p>Here’s how the workflow goes:</p> <ol><li>Export your Revit model into BidLight.</li><li>The AI classifies BOQ line items automatically.</li><li>Labor, equipment, material, and time costs populate in real time.</li><li>When the wall moves, re-export or sync the model—BidLight updates the estimate instantly.</li><li>Walk into the meeting with a number backed by live data and industry benchmarks.</li></ol> <p>That’s the win: you stop chasing scattered updates and re-doing takeoffs. You save hours (up to 680 per project) and win more work (35% higher win rate) because your numbers hold up. And if you need more, BidLight’s done-for-you BIM services handle execution plans, 4D/5D, and fabrication detailing—so you can turn early estimates into a service you bill for.</p>
