Architect Document Management

Q: What kind of software do architects use for collaboration?

Architects around the world use Bluebeam Revu to collaborate with teammates and clients and improve project communication during design review. Revu features a built-in collaboration tool, Studio, which allows project partners to digitally mark up and review drawings and documents together in real time from anywhere. Architects also use Bluebeam to review submittals, respond to RFIs and more.

Q: What are the benefits of Bluebeam software for architect document management?

Bluebeam allows architects to centralise drawings, documents and data in one place, so teammates anywhere can securely access, upload, review and edit the latest updates on their web browser or mobile device. Bluebeam also helps keep PDF sets organised and up to date with time-saving automation tools, ensuring that everyone’s always on the latest set.

Q: How do architects access drawings on the construction site?

Bluebeam helps keep design teams on the same page by centralising their project documents and drawings in the cloud for easier construction document management. So both architects and clients can securely access, review and edit the latest updates from anywhere.

Q: How do architects create and manage defect lists?

Architects typically create a defect list by conducting a thorough inspection of the project site, noting any incomplete or deficient work, and documenting these items in a detailed list. They can also prioritise the items based on their importance and impact on the project timeline or quality. Bluebeam allows architects to track the status of each item, assign responsibilities and communicate effectively with the project team.

Q: Can Bluebeam integrate with other architectural design software?

Many architects and engineers use Bluebeam as a post-production tool for AutoCAD to streamline the review process, first designing 2D or 3D drawings in AutoCAD, then using Bluebeam to mark them up in real time.
