DESCRIPTION:We’ve all heard that Bluebeam Revu is the ideal solution to set up and control all your construction projects\, but often times we don’t know how to begin that vital process. Wouldn’t it be nice to set up graphic dashboards where you can open a site plan and just click on a location to open all the specs\, drawings\, bids\, and other relevant documents for your job? How about tracking field issues\, creating RFIs\, and even tracking the current status of any project issues you have\, all in Bluebeam Revu? This class will show you how to do all this\, along with how to standardize those procedures for use on every project and by everyone in your company. \nZenTek Consultants\, the nation’s premiere Bluebeam Partner\, will show you the most effective means of using Revu to standardize your internal Construction Control Processes\, so you can get the efficiency\, and intelligence\, you need from Revu.
