Overall Satisfaction with PlanGrid
PlanGrid is used to share drawings and documents with the entire project team. Team members can use it to markup/measure plans, as well as overlay previous iterations. The calibration feature is usually pretty accurate and allows users to create complete quantity takeoffs as well as check dimensions. It is used on a few project teams.
- Measurement Calibration

- System updates are slow
- Can only have one measurement calibration per page
- Slow to download PDFs
- Saved paper
- Improved coordination
- Easy to use
The programs are not exactly parallel, however, we formerly posted RFIs on Bluebeam and by owner request we are now using Plangrid. I have found that this feature on Plangrid is slightly more intuitive and the interface is more user-friendly. Bluebeam, on the other hand, has more intricate markup features.
