Pros

“It made reviewing drawings and construction documents much more efficient, with features like customizable markups, measurement tools, and real-time collaboration through Studio Sessions.”

Shawn C.

IT Director

“Bluebeam not only allows you to digitally estimate from your blueprints, it also has a variety of functions that allow you to create and modify pdf files.”

Chris V.

Senior Project Manager

“I was the go-to for creating Bluebeam exhibits & markups/quantity takeoffs. When people ask me what programs they need to run a construction business, Bluebeam is easily top 3.”

Aaron H.

Project Manager

Pros

“Its integration with Simpro and the tech support.”

Nick H.

Managing director

“Many of the functions feel intuitive, and it’s clear that a lot of thoughtful development has gone into each feature, with close attention to feedback from trades and estimators.”

Peter N.

Estimator

“The Support you get & the Availability to Design Electrical Plans”

Hamish O.

Director

Cons

“Performance can also slow down when working with very large or complex PDF sets, and certain interface elements can feel cluttered compared to more modern applications.”

Shawn C.

IT Director

“What I like least about Bluebeam Revu is that the program occasionally crashes abruptly without notice and I end up losing any unsaved work. ”

Anthony K.

Mechanical Engineer

“The recurring cost can become expensive, particularly for companies that need access for several team members.”

Caleb C.

Estimator and Project Manager

Cons

“The only thing I don't like and our company chooses not to use is the count assist feature, This is only because the PDF plans issued icoms are note all eactly the same.”

Darren M.

Estimating Manager

“I wasn't keen on the way that Groundplan managed drawings and different scales for the drawings.”

John B.

Territory Manager

“It also lacked a toolbox for standard, repeatable measurements.”
