Subcontractor Software for Specialty Trades | Bluebeam

Q: What kind of software do subcontractors use for collaboration?

Subcontractors use Bluebeam solutions to digitally collaborate with teammates in real time. Bluebeam Revu features a built-in collaboration tool, Studio, which allows project partners to digitally mark up and review drawings and documents together in real-time from anywhere. Subs can also easily access projects and edit or markup anywhere—in the office or in the field—with Bluebeam Cloud, our cloud-based web and mobile platform that’s fully compatible with their Studio files from Revu.

Q: Why do subcontractors use Bluebeam construction software?

Subcontractors use Bluebeam solutions to mark up, measure and digitally collaborate in real time on PDF drawings and documents. Bluebeam features highly customizable markup and measurement tools that can be used to speed up a variety of end-to-end workflows (reviews, estimation, RFIs, submittals).
