AI AND INNOVATION
People-centric innovation for the construction industry
Bluebeam is continuing to invest in advanced technologies like AI to make your life easier. Here’s how.
Our commitment to you
For over 20 years, we’ve been dedicated to making your job less tedious and more automated. As we develop new ways of helping you build, we’re also committed to ensuring our AI innovations are dependable, transparent, and secure.
20 years of Bluebeam innovation
At Bluebeam, ‘AI’ and ‘innovation’ are more than just buzzwords. For over twenty years, we’ve been harnessing the power of cutting-edge technology to make your team more productive and profitable. Here are some highlights:
2005
Markups List
Giving you an interactive window into all the collaboration that goes into a document. Only Bluebeam offers this capability to do more with your markups: view, sort, filter, group, assign tasks, set statuses, export, customize, and more.
2009
Batch Processing
Automates tedious tasks for large drawing sets, so you save time and avoid manual errors keying in the same changes over and over. Several batch features help Revu power users make bulk changes faster and more accurately.
2010
Studio in Revu
Enabling real-time cloud-based collaboration since 2010, Studio is essential to everyday project collaboration for hundreds of thousands of AECO professionals.
2011
VisualSearch
VisualSearch harnesses the power of AI to speed up quantity takeoffs and estimations. Simply show Revu an image to automatically identify and count all other instances in your drawing(s).
2015
Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
OCR allows you to transform scanned PDFs into text-searchable and selectable files, so you can save time navigating even the most complex, extensive document sets.
2017
Dynamic Fill
One of the most beloved features in Revu, Dynamic Fill automates complex measurements by filling in irregular shapes to quickly generate perimeter, area, volume, and more.
2022
Bluebeam on web and mobile
Bluebeam it on the go! Mark up and measure together from anywhere by extending the powers of Revu across your web browser or mobile device.
2026
