12-Hour Bluebeam Training - Revu and Studio Electrical Essentials
6-Hour Bluebeam Electrical Drawing Management Workshop
Our 2-Day, 12-Hour Bluebeam Training - Revu and Studio Electrical Essentials training 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 One Day, 6-Hour Bluebeam Electrical Drawing Management Workshop builds on the fundamentals developed in our 12-Hour Bluebeam Electrical Essentials training course. This workshop teaches students who are working as an electrical project leadership team advanced Bluebeam methods and tools to better allow them to focus in on pivot points in the project such as quality control and document management.
What is Bluebeam?
Bluebeam Revu, a PDF 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.
Who Uses It?
Lots of electrical professionals 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.
What Are The Benefits Of Electricity Forum Bluebeam Electrical Training?
