Construction Project Setup in Bluebeam Revu

The most vital, and often the most difficult, aspect of working with a set of PDF construction documents in Bluebeam is the project setup. Having all documents scaled, labeled, rotated, and ready to work with is important, but it can be a time-consuming and expensive process to handle in-house.

Imagine working a construction project where all your pages were scaled, all your details linked on the plan, even having a linked table of contents to quickly open the documents you need with one click of the mouse! What if all your rooms and phases were labeled for you so you could easily identify issues or QTO items in their real-world locations, or if every enlarged plan/detail was already scaled for quick and accurate measurements?

ZenTek Consultants can take over setting up every one of your construction PDF sets, formatted and structured for use in Bluebeam Revu, and we can do it for far less than you’d invest doing it yourself. Whether you have a small 10-page residential document set or a 3,000-page interstate highway project, we can help optimize your project and make everything you do easier and faster.
