Read the full story on the Bluebeam blog: Deepak Maini, a 20-year qualified mechanical engineer, strongly advocates for the use of Revu to accomplish accurate quantity takeoffs. Using the digital tools in Bluebeam Revu helps to avoid costly mistakes from paper-generated processes, especially when dealing with large or complex projects.
Deepak’s QTO Tips and Tricks in Revu:
Calibrate the PDF – Don’t rely on the drawings to be in proper scale. This process ensures that your measurements are accurate.
Create Custom tool sets – Align all project collaborators by creating and deploying a tool set for takeoffs that can be used and standardized throughout your company and on future projects.
Use Custom Columns – Why not have an immediate cost breakdown? Columns in the Markups List are highly customizable. With values plugged into your Custom Columns, users can instantly see the materials and price estimates.
Use VisualSearch – Using this feature, you can find the total count of light fixtures or electrical outlets quickly within your entire bid package by using Revu to search for a visual que or object.
