Bluebeam Revu is paid PDF markup, measurement and collaboration software for architecture, engineering and construction, from Bluebeam. A free trial is available; plans run from Basics at $260 to Max at $590 per user per year.
On many construction projects, drawings are reviewed, marked up and measured as PDFs rather than in CAD. Bluebeam Revu is built for that work: it lets architects, engineers and contractors comment on drawings, measure quantities and collaborate on the same set of documents.
What Revu does
- PDF creation, viewing and editing with construction-oriented markups.
- Measurements: lengths, areas, perimeters, counts, angles and volumes for takeoff (depending on plan).
- Overlay and compare to spot changes between drawing revisions.
- Studio collaboration: hosted sessions where several people mark up the same documents.
- CAD plug-ins to create PDFs from design programs.

Every plan includes Bluebeam Revu for Windows desktop plus Bluebeam on web and mobile. US prices per user, billed annually:
