Bluebeam Revu Training - Electrical Essentials - This 12-hour live online instructor-led course introduces students to Bluebeam Revu software and teaches them how to rapidly solve electrical construction problems by finding and comparing information across multiple drawings and specifications. With that information, students will learn how to add value to those documents through updating completion visually and adding as-builts details at site. Our course focuses students on how to use the data imbedded in these document annotations to better manage resources such as time and budget.

Our Bluebeam Electrical Essentials - Revu and Studio training course introduces students to the PDF collaboration program, designed specifically for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. For the designer and detailer, Bluebeam Revu includes plugins for most computer-aided design (CAD) and building information modeling (BIM) software that enables quick and easy conversion of both 2D and 3D drawings into a PDF file that can be easily viewed by the entire project team. For electrical construction professionals, we demonstrate how Bluebeam can include sketch, markup, measurement, and takeoff tools as well as powerful search features specifically designed to work with electrical construction documents.
What is Bluebeam?
Bluebeam Revu, a PDF editing markup and collaboration software tool that is used by architects, electrical engineers, electrical project managers and electrical estimators and journeymen electricians throughout the lifecycle of a building project. Bluebeam Revu software allows teams to compare documents, do estimations, submit RFIs and plans for approval, and many other important software functions that allow for document control.
Who Uses It?
Lots of electrical industry experts in the electrical engineering and construction industries use Bluebeam. More than 90 per cent of the top construction organizations and more than 80 per cent of the top North American electrical design firms use Bluebeam because it saves time, boosts efficiency and allows team memebers to simultaneously work together. Essentially, Bluebeam is a powerful collaboration tool, allowing teams of electrical professionals in different locations and across vairous time zones to view and mark up a document at the same time, as if they were sitting in one room.
