Bluebeam

Construction collaboration software

Visit Bluebeam

Bluebeam is construction software for architecture, engineering and construction teams, centred on marking up, measuring and reviewing PDF drawings and documents. It connects office and field work through a shared source of project information, covering workflows such as drawing management, design review, takeoffs, RFIs, submittals and punch lists.

The product combines Bluebeam Revu, a Windows desktop application for PDF markups and measurement, with browser and mobile access that requires no Revu installation. Studio provides a collaboration environment with real-time editing, check in/out, markup assignment, status reports and activity records. Process tools include a configurable Tool Chest, batch slip-sheeting and stamping, computer vision for locating symbols and annotations, and third-party integrations via Bluebeam Studio APIs. Bluebeam Max is a premium subscription plan that adds AI features to Revu.

Bluebeam is used by architects, engineers, general contractors, subcontractors, estimators, skilled trades and public sector teams. It is available through a free trial, with plans priced per user and billed annually. Bluebeam University training courses are included at no additional cost, alongside technical support and an online community.
