At Imperial Corporate Training Institute, we’ve developed a training course for construction professionals that will give them the foundational knowledge and skills needed to accurately perform digital takeoffs and streamline workflows on projects (Building Integrated Cost Solutions). In this course, you’ll be taught how to leverage the power of Bluebeam to extract quantities from complex drawings, track their development through time, and efficiently create estimates.
This course focuses on practical application by providing a means for students to transform their PDF files into easy-to-understand project insight utilizing advanced methods of marking up PDF documents. The hands-on exercises allow students to develop the ability to automate the process of performing takeoffs (e.g., once automation has been implemented) and will help them validate the accuracy of their measurements while improving collaboration within the construction team.
In addition to learning how to perform digital takeoffs, participants in the Bluebeam Revu Construction Takeoff Training Course will learn additional processes that can be used to automate the takeoff process, reducing errors, improving estimating practices and enhancing cost control by construction managers, estimators and project coordinators. By completing this training, participants will feel confident using Bluebeam Revu to optimize their overall construction planning and increase Document Management Efficiency.
Objectives
The primary objectives of this training course are:
- With the help of Bluebeam Revu, you will learn how to title and total the digital takeoff for many different kinds of projects in construction.
- You will become skilled at marking PDFs up in advanced ways for project documentation.
- You will be able to extract quantities accurately from drawings to provide an accurate estimate of what your project will cost.
- You will be able to improve workflow and share information between team members using digital means.
- By using digital tools while planning out a project, you will develop the skills needed to reduce the number of mistakes, save yourself time, and control costs effectively.
- You will learn the best methods for managing your project documents and how to report your takeoffs effectively.
Target Audience
- Construction estimators and quantity surveyors
- Project managers and coordinators
- Contractors and subcontractors involved in construction takeoff
