Trusted by teams building at scale
Owners, contractors and specialty trades coordinate on BidLight.
Your coordination team is working blind
These are the questions that cost money every week, and the reason they are hard to answer is that nothing on the project keeps a record of them.
Who changed what?
Someone moved a duct. Nobody knows who, or when, or why. The coordination meeting spends two hours finding out.
Who's behind?
You find out at the GC coordination meeting, three weeks after the slip started.
Where are the issues?
Scattered across Teams, email and Bluebeam. Nobody can find the one they need.
What changed between exports?
Comparing PDFs side by side, the way it was done in 2005.
What is the delay costing?
Every week a clash sits unresolved, the work behind it stops. That's $15K-$50K in field labour standing idle, every week. Three weeks of that and you've spent more than BidLight costs for the entire project.
Why are field and office out of step?
Your BIM team models one thing. The field installs another. RFI responses sit in email for days. Redlines from the superintendent never make it back to the model. By the time the gap surfaces, the concrete is already poured.
The real cost isn't money. It's trust. When you can't see who did what, accountability disappears.
Why coordination teams choose BidLight
Four things run underneath the process, all the time, without waiting for someone to file a report.
A schedule that reminds everyone on it
One BIM coordination programme, with every phase carrying its own issues and health. Each morning it mails the people on it: the issues they own, and any plan item due within three days that still has something open.
Stop reconstructing what changed
Compare any two revisions and see what was added, removed and modified, sorted by category, with the element focused in 3D.
Give every issue an owner
Issues attach to the element they concern, are assigned by trade, and are tracked until somebody resolves them.
See who is ahead and who is stuck
Contribution tracking and resolution rates per person, flagged against the schedule, while there is still time to move work.
What teams say
“Coordination on BidLight made the job easier for us in the field.”
“On site I can see where the project actually is, instead of guessing.”
“I did not have to chase anyone to find out what changed.”
“BidLight eased me through every step of the estimating process.”

- Per-task issue counts and health
- Model health and naming validation
- Approval queue before a change lands
Connected project intelligence
Issue totals, contributor activity and per-person scoring across every project at once.

Delivered where your team already works
Approve a shop drawing in BidLight and it arrives in the system your project already runs on, as a new version of the file that is already there.
Managed continuous upload to your Procore
Models and shop drawings, delivered to the Procore Documents folder you choose. Set it up once per project.
Setup guideUpload to your ACC / Forma
Link a Revit model straight from ACC, and deliver approved shop drawings back to an ACC folder.
Setup guideOne record of the project, kept as the work happens
Four things run underneath your coordination process, all the time. None of them wait for someone to file a report.
The platform, run by the team that built it
Some projects need the software. Some need the coordination handled for them. BidLight covers both, on the same platform you'd use yourself.
Cost, as the model changes
Powered by Advanced databases
BidLight cost engine
Advanced platform for precise and efficient construction cost estimating.
Craftsman book
Comprehensive resource for construction costs, labor rates, and material prices.
1build
Streamlines construction project estimates with accurate and detailed cost data.
CESK data (Coming soon)
Reliable cost estimating service with extensive construction data and insights.
ENR cost data (Coming soon)
Industry-standard source for current construction costs and price trends.
BidLight keeps the Revit model as the record of the job. Every export is versioned and compared element by element, every coordination issue is pinned to the geometry and the person who owns it, and the cost of every change follows the revision that caused it.
Cost lines are matched to the assemblies in the model for labour, equipment, material and time, so the estimate moves with the model instead of being rebuilt after it.
The result is one record for coordination and cost, read by the coordinator, the estimator and the owner alike.
Coordination that starts inside Revit
Every export versioned, straight from Revit
Publish from Revit and the export becomes a versioned snapshot — who exported it, when, component count and model size — sorted newest first, with milestone badges.
Element-level diffs between revisions
See what was added, removed and modified between any two revisions, sorted by category. Click any element to focus it in 3D.
Issues pinned to Revit elements
Every issue attaches to the element it concerns and captures its own 3D screenshot. Assigned by trade, tracked until it is resolved. Nothing lives in your inbox.
Cost and quantities inside Revit
A construction cost database inside Revit, cost lines matched to the assemblies in the model, and estimate export to Excel — read off the same model you are already coordinating.

ROI ValueBidLight's Impact
BidLight was the coordination record for the electrical scope: every model export versioned, every issue pinned to a Revit element with an auto-captured 3D screenshot, assigned by trade and tracked to resolution, and every contributor's throughput visible against the schedule. The same versioned model also supplied the takeoff for procurement.
