Measurements Tools
Use Bluebeam Revu measurements to calculate length, area, perimeter, and more, accurately quantifying materials directly on PDFs.
Accurate quantity takeoffs and estimations are critical for competitive bidding and successful project management. Sticking to mainstream and outdated practices and tools brings forth several issues that negatively impact the overall construction budget and bid-winning ratio, including:
- Frequent errors and rework due to inaccurate measurements.
- Inefficient communication and sharing of critical measurement data.
- Difficulty in capturing the full scope of a project efficiently.
Revolutionise Traditional Workflows with Bluebeam Revu
Bluebeam Revu, the industry-leading construction takeoff software, is specifically designed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of quantity takeoffs and estimations. These capabilities help contractors and estimators craft more winning bids. It enables:
- Capturing a project's true scope with precision, purpose-built measurement tools for accurate and dynamic measurements.
- Use the Dynamic Fill feature to measure the area and volume of irregular regions or shapes in your construction drawings.
- Use Visual Search to count similar objects on construction drawings without manually going through comprehensive documents.
- Ensuring quick, precise measurements and accumulating totals directly on the construction PDFs
- Creating customisable and shareable tool sets to mark up and measure, standardising the estimation process.
Seamless Collaboration, Measurements, & Annotation
Bluebeam's construction takeoff software, Bluebeam Revu, is not only known for revolutionising measurements and estimates but also changed the way data is managed and shared among AEC teams. The exceptional features that lead to better outcomes in the bidding and estimation process include:
- Seamlessly export measurement data from Markups List in Bluebeam Revu to Excel for detailed post-processing, analysis, and reporting.
- Ability to create and save custom tool sets in Revu Tool Chest that can be shared with other team members for consistent workflows.
- Invite and engage team members in Bluebeam Studio for real-time collaboration and quick feedback & adjustments.
- hare PDFs on Bluebeam Cloud and invite teams to update, review, or comment on the latest document anywhere or anytime.
- By leveraging Bluebeam's advanced estimation and takeoff software, Revu 21, AEC teams can collaborate more effectively and significantly boost their bid-winning ratio.
