Practical Construction Use of Bluebeam Revu

Bluebeam Revu is used daily by over 80% of construction firms in the U.S., but, unfortunately, not a lot of us use it well or efficiently. Bluebeam is designed for the construction industry, but all too often the people it’s meant for don’t even understand what Bluebeam can do in the construction world. With Bluebeam Revu, you can create as-builts, directly modify PDFs, define phases/zones, link to details, compare differences between documents, even overlay PDFs to look for system conflicts, and much more. This class is focused entirely on the tools and features that will provide the most benefit to people working construction projects in Bluebeam Revu.

ZenTek Consultants, the nation’s premiere Bluebeam Partner, will show you the most effective means of using Revu for Construction work so you can get the efficiency and intelligence you need from Revu. This eight (8) hour course is delivered in four (4), two-hour long sessions that students can attend online, right from their own desk. A live instructor will explain the detailed functions, and address questions as the class progresses.

Must attend all four sessions. This class will be held on 4 consecutive Wednesdays March 6th, 13th, 20th & 27th.
