In this Bluebeam video series for Steel Erectors, we will be going over the benefits a Steel Erector can get from Bluebeam. I think every Steel Erector can find some great use with this tool. It is excellent for document control and has some excellent applications for the field. A lot of companies use it to perform takeoffs; in fact, my software, the Steel Erection Bid Wizard integrates with it.
This video series is not meant to cover everything that you can use Bluebeam for. My main goal for this series is to show you how this tool can work for you and your company as a Steel Erector. And help you speed up some of the tedious processes you may be currently doing manually.
*** To perform the tasks, I’m going to show you in Bluebeam you will need the version of Bluebeam called extreme to be able to do them.
*** Below are the topics I will be covering in this video series if a topic is not hyperlinked yet, bookmark this page and come back from time to time as I will be creating these videos over the next few weeks.
