Can BidLight show me the cost impact of a design change before it hits my budget?
Yes. You see the cost before the change hits your budget. BidLight keeps one live record of the project inside Revit and Navisworks. When the design changes, the number updates in real time.

How do I prove a clash was actually fixed in the field and not just closed in the model?
A clash is only fixed when the field says so. BidLight gives you the trail to prove it. 1. Publish straight from the model in Revit or Navisworks.

Can BidLight show the owner which revision each number in my estimate came from?
Yes. Every export is versioned and diffed element by element, so each number in your estimate points back to the exact model revision it came from. Here is what happens.

Why is this month's estimate $340K higher than the one I sent the owner last month?
The number moved because the model moved. BidLight keeps one live record of the project inside Revit and Navisworks, so when someone edits geometry or metadata, the cost tied to that same model…

How do I find out that my estimate was priced from an old revision before the bid goes out?
Every export BidLight publishes is versioned and diffed element by element, so an old revision can't hide from you. The model is the record, and cost rides on the same model.

Can I send a client a cost number for a layout change straight from the model on the same day they ask?
Yes. That is the whole point of BidLight. You export from Revit or Navisworks and cost rides on the same model. Labor, equipment, material, and time costs come back in minutes, not days.

How do I prove which model revision a subcontractor's quote was actually priced from?
Every export from BidLight is versioned, and every version is diffed element by element. That history is the proof.

If I send the client a number straight from the model, can I bill for that quick estimate as its own service?

Can BidLight send me a daily digest of open issues with who owns them and when they're due, instead of a morning status call?
Yes. BidLight sends a daily digest at 6am. It shows what you own, what's open, and who's responsible. So your morning status call turns into a quick scan, not a two-hour hunt.

Does BidLight catch what changed between model revisions, like a wall that moved between v2 and v3, before it hits my bid?
Yes. Every export you publish from Revit or the federated Navisworks model is versioned, and BidLight diffs it element by element. If a wall moved between v2 and v3, you see it.
