Overall Satisfaction with Bluebeam Revu
Bluebeam is used by the construction teams primarily on the job sites, but it is also utilized by the estimating department and even the clerical side of our work. It is an accurate tool for dimensions and is used to articulate issues in the field. I use it to show progress thru layering weekly to monthly while adding in photos. I use it to mark up drawings for RFIs, submittals and to send official documents.
- Dimensioning of drawings, including volume and doing take offs for concrete form work.
- Mark ups for RFI clarifications.
- Searching for information in documents, i.e. specification sections.
- Collaboration of drawings in Studio is a big bonus. Crews in the field can make comments to drawings and get results back from the office efficiently.
- Dimensioning on the iPad could be improved.
- OCR recognition could be improved.
- Conveying the markup drawings with RFIs is quick and efficient. There would be no way to do it with Adobe Pro. And it costs less.
