About Bluebeam Revu

Bluebeam is construction document collaboration software built around Revu, its PDF markup and measurement tool that is widely used for drawing review in architecture, engineering, and construction. Teams mark up PDFs with industry-standard tools, run design review and QA/QC workflows, and collaborate in real time through Studio sessions from desktop, web, and mobile. The platform also covers drawing and document management, takeoffs and estimation, and workflows for RFIs, submittals, punch lists, and project handover. Subscriptions are sold in tiers (Basics, Core, Complete, and the AI-focused Max) billed annually per user, each including Revu for Windows plus web and mobile access. Bluebeam is part of the Nemetschek Group.
