General Contractor Markup and Measurement Software

Q: What software and apps do general contractors use for markups?

General contractors use Bluebeam solutions to store, mark up, measure and share PDF drawings and documents. Bluebeam Revu for desktop gives general contractors highly customisable markup tools designed specifically for AECO workflows, which can be reused and shared to standardise communication across teams and projects. General contractors can also use Bluebeam Cloud (web and mobile) to mark up and edit their files from Revu on the go.

Q: What are the best features to look for in general contractor software?

When it comes to general contractor software, it’s important to find solutions that are mobile, interoperable and secure. Bluebeam solutions give general contractors the tools they need to mark up, measure and collaborate securely anywhere on desktop, web and mobile. Bluebeam is also built on open standards, giving internal and external teams a secure, centralised place to create, annotate and share documents. General contractors using Bluebeam can also securely access local AWS-based servers to collaborate with teammates anywhere in the world while ensuring sensitive project data stays safe every step of the way.
