Blue Beam Software for Project Coordinators

Bluebeam Revu Training Course
Designed for Project Coordinators and Construction Teams

In many construction projects across Canada, Bluebeam Revu has become one of the main tools used for reviewing drawings, marking up files, managing documents, performing measurements, and coordinating between project teams.

However, the reality is that many people who enter Project Coordinator or Site Coordinator roles do not have real hands-on experience with this software or with the common workflows used in construction projects.

This course is designed exactly to fill that gap.

In this course, you will learn, in a fully practical and project-based format, how to use Bluebeam in real construction project environments;
from opening and reviewing drawings to measurement, markup, document control, revision comparison, and team collaboration through Studio Session.

Who is this course suitable for?
Project Coordinators
Site Coordinators
Construction Administrators
Junior Project Managers
Individuals planning to enter the construction job market in Canada
Civil, architectural, and construction professionals
Anyone who wants to learn real construction project workflows
