Introducing Bluebeam Max

The Biggest Upgrade to Bluebeam Revu in Years is Here

Meet Max: The AI-Powered Plan Built for Future-Ready Teams

 

 

The much-awaited Bluebeam Max is finally here, and it's not a rebrand; it's a genuinely new, AI-supercharged product. Six AI-powered features built into Revu: natural-language commands via Claude MCP integration, Smart Review, Smart Overlay, Stitching, Magic markups, and Connected Sessions with Revit. All in one place, at £490/user/year introductory pricing locked through 2027.

Compare Max with your current subscription. If your team is already on Complete, the question is simple: Do you think you need to be more agile to meet the industry's growing demands and expectations? If yes, Max is built for you.

Curious whether Max is worth it for your team? Try it free for 14 days; no card, no commitment.

Click the button below to connect with our Bluebeam experts, and we'll walk you through trial, upgrade options, or multi-user licensing, and help you decide whether Max is genuinely the right move for your team.

Note: The Smart Review feature is currently optimised for US-based vertical commercial construction. If you're keen to understand what's coming for UK-specific support, contact Brighter Graphics for the latest roadmap update. 

Bluebeam Max Claude

How to Connect and Use Claude with Bluebeam Max

Many users are currently exploring Bluebeam Max and are unsure how to use the new AI features in their existing Revu environment. The notable change is integration with Claude, which unlocks new ways to work and interact with PDFs in Bluebeam Revu.

To use the new AI-powered capabilities, your Revu must be updated to the latest Bluebeam Revu 21.9 or later. This update is required to access all Max subscription features, including AI-powered document interaction through Claude.

Once set up, you can prompt your Claude desktop app to run powerful, multi-step workflows in Revu, analyse PDFs, extract data, generate summaries, manage markups, and support faster decision-making.

We created a guide with a video tutorial that walks you through the complete setup, shows you how to configure Revu and Claude to connect, and explains how to prompt Claude AI to do all the heavy lifting for you.

From Requirements to RealTime: One Connected Data Stack

Brighter Graphics Partnership with dRofus and dTwin

We're excited to announce our partnership with dRofus and dTwin, and together we're bringing something the UK and European AECO firms have genuinely been missing: a connected, end-to-end data stack that takes your project from requirements through to real-time operations.

Here's what that means in practice:

We help you know your requirements – from day one
Too many projects start with scattered briefs, disconnected spreadsheets, and assumptions that quietly snowball into expensive late-stage changes. With dRofus, we give every stakeholder a single, structured source of truth, room data, asset information, and owner requirements, all captured, auditable, and live from the moment a project begins. Do it once. Do it right.
We extend that intelligence beyond handover.
Once your project moves into operations, we don't want your data to go dark. Through dTwin, we connect your structured BIM data with IoT sensors, point clouds, CMMS, CAFM, BMS, and ERP systems, so your building teams have a real-time view of assets, spaces, and performance. Not a snapshot. A living digital twin.
We deploy it with people who've done it before.
At Brighter Graphics, we bring over 20 years of experience in construction technology. When you work with us, you're not getting a product manual and good luck, you're getting a team that's been through complex implementations across some of the most demanding environments in AECO, and knows how to make this work within your existing workflows.

Meausrement Series Area Cutout

Area Cutout Tools in Bluebeam Revu 21

Area Cut-out tools in Bluebeam Revu make quantity takeoffs much smarter and cleaner. Need to exclude columns, stairwells, landscaped sections, or any other space that shouldn’t be included in your area totals? Instead of creating multiple area measurements around unwanted regions, you can simply use the Ellipse or Polygon Cut-out tools - more accurate and a huge time-saver when working with detailed floor plans or estimates.

Read these guides from our Revu Measurement series to learn how to use the polygon and ellipse cutout in Revu 21.
