<p>Pretty much. Your Revit model already carries the geometry and metadata for every wall, duct, and fixture. What it's missing is a way to turn that into labor, equipment, material, and time costs without someone manually reading drawings and typing numbers into a spreadsheet.</p>
<p>That's the gap BidLight closes. Export your model and two AI models read the geometry and metadata to classify BOQ line items at 86% accuracy. Pricing pulls from a database of roughly $30,000 in current line items plus Craftsman, 1Build, and RSMeans, so the numbers are grounded in real market data, not a guess.</p>
<p>Here's how it works:</p>
<ol><li>Export your Revit model into BidLight.</li><li>The AI classifies every BOQ line item against the geometry it sees.</li><li>Costs populate for labor, equipment, material, and time.</li><li>You get a full estimate in minutes, not days.</li><li>Change the design, and the estimate updates in real time. No re-export, no redo.</li></ol>
<p>No more chasing scattered spreadsheets or rebuilding a takeoff every time a wall moves. The model was always the source of truth. Now it can actually say what it costs, and back it up with numbers you can defend.</p>
