Save Time. Save Money.

Bluebeam's PDF solutions for construction professionals are designed to improve communication, tracking, and speed. Create PDFs from any CAD or Windows file. Add comments and notes directly to PDFs received from architects or consultants to eliminate extra steps or confusion and improve turnaround time. General Contractors have reduced printing and distribution costs on projects by as much as 80%. With Revu, there is no need to markup a paper drawing, scan it to PDF, and email it from the trailer - simply markup the PDF drawing electronically and send it off in one click from anywhere you have an Internet connection. With the built-in measurement tool, onscreen quantity takeoffs are calculated, totaled and stored in a list that can be summarized in Excel for estimates. Save time and money with Bluebeam PDF Revu - the ideal PDF solution for construction professionals.
