Bluebeam Revu®

What is Bluebeam?

Bluebeam is the industry-leading markup and collaboration solution designed specifically for the architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries. At its core, Bluebeam Revu is a powerful PDF-based platform that allows project teams to manage documents, create high-quality markups, and collaborate in real-time.

Unlike standard PDF editors, Bluebeam is engineered to handle complex technical drawings and large-scale construction sets. It enables users to:

• Streamline Design Reviews: Use customizable markup tools to communicate changes clearly across the entire project team.

• Boost Estimation Accuracy: Take advantage of built-in measurement tools for lengths, areas, and volumes, allowing for faster and more precise takeoffs.

• Centralise Collaboration: With Bluebeam Cloud and Studio, multiple stakeholders can review the same document simultaneously from anywhere—the office or the field.

• Improve Document Control: Organise thousands of PDFs with smart features like Batch Link, OCR, and automated page labeling.

As an essential part of a digital BIM workflow, Bluebeam helps Irish construction firms reduce paper waste, mitigate risks of outdated information, and deliver projects more efficiently. Whether you are an architect, site engineer, or quantity surveyor, Bluebeam provides the "single source of truth" needed for modern project delivery.

When you start using Bluebeam, you can choose from three different versions depending on the tools and features you want.

Complete: for those who want access to all the features Bluebeam has to offer. Complete includes everything you need to automate and speed up your workflows with features like dynamic fill, batch link and quantity link.
Core: for those who need real-time measurement tools and collaboration, but without the most advanced features.
Basics: for those who only need the most basic PDF tools, without the need for measurement or advanced collaboration.
