<p>Yes — and that&#39;s the gap BidLight closes.</p> <p>Revit already holds every pipe, wall, duct, and fixture with real metadata attached. Most estimating workflows ignore that richness and rebuild the count by hand in a spreadsheet, which is where time gets lost and errors creep in.</p> <p>BidLight works inside Revit, reading geometry and metadata directly off your model. Two AI models classify BOQ line items at roughly 86% accuracy, then price them against a database of about $30,000 in current rates, supplemented by Craftsman, 1Build, and RSMeans data.</p> <p>Here&#39;s how it plays out in practice:</p> <ol><li><strong>Export your model</strong> straight from Revit — no separate takeoff step.</li><li><strong>BidLight reads the geometry and metadata</strong> for every element, from structural walls to duct runs.</li><li><strong>The AI classifies each line item</strong> into the BOQ automatically.</li><li><strong>Current pricing gets pulled in</strong> from the database and third-party sources.</li><li><strong>You get labor, equipment, material, and time costs</strong> in minutes, not days.</li><li><strong>Change the design, and the estimate updates in real time</strong> — no re-running a takeoff from scratch.</li></ol> <p>The result is a number tied to what&#39;s actually modeled, not a manual reinterpretation of it. That&#39;s the difference between an estimate you have to defend and one you can just point to.</p>
