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?

Yes. That quick estimate is a deliverable, and you can put it on an invoice.

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.

How much time is my senior estimator really losing every week reconciling exports and fixing sheets against the model?

The honest answer is you're losing the hours you can't bill. Every time an export lands, someone has to diff it by hand, chase what moved, and re-check sheets against the model.

Can BidLight give me a budget number from the model in minutes when the client asks before drawings are done?

Yes. You can send a budget number the same day the client asks, even with the model only half finished. BidLight keeps one live record of the project inside Revit and Navisworks. Export the model.

How do I stop my senior estimator from spending every Friday checking whether sheet quantities match the model?

Stop checking. Put the quantities on the model itself so the sheet and the model are the same record. BidLight runs inside Revit and Navisworks.

What happens to my estimate when the structural engineer swaps a beam size in the model?

Your estimate updates. You do not re-run the takeoff. The model in Revit is the live record of the project.
