Because works projects must be delivered sustainably, with little margin for error on calculations and quantities, digital project collaboration platforms such as Bluebeam increasingly demonstrate value.


Design flexibility is enhanced through Bluebeam's design review features that allow project partners to mark up and work on the same documents in real time or remotely.


Project data is communicated with customised, in-depth annotations that facilitate decision-making and efficiency, with mark-ups appearing in an integrated, customisable list that enables easy tracking. Teams can save and organise custom markups in the tool chest, including features like PDF markups, with text, highlights or callouts, or hyperlinks to other pages, specific locations in your documents, web pages or even other documents.


With Bluebeam’s quantities and estimation tools, teams can identify, measure and quantify faster and more accurately - and keep an eye on costs.


Bluebeam Revu makes it a breeze to capture a project’s true scope, then track and export data easily - for example to Microsoft Excel - and eases sequencing and planning timelines for multiple iterations.


Assisting AEC compliance with advancing emissions control requirements


The Bluebeam platform not only enables customers to minimise resource use and waste when planning and embarking on a construction project but helps digitise projects - so more datapoints can ultimately be made available to simulation applications. And it can also help with compliance.


With Scope 3 embedded carbon emissions increasingly on the radar of customers across multiple industries, tools like Bluebeam can help.


For example, the greener construction plan for Norwegian cities reached its first stage in 2021.


According to Bluebeam's 'Built' blog, by the end of that year, the legislation mandated that all new construction and building activities within these urban zones would be free of fossil fuels in any of the equipment used on site.


Within 10 years, by 2030, all construction activities in these cities are required to be entirely emission free - not least because concrete and steel are major contributors to carbon emissions.
