BLUEBEAM REVU toolchest
No fluff. Just the tools you need, ready to go.
Using Bluebeam Revu for your quoting or take-offs? Good move. Now let’s make it faster, cleaner, and way more organised. Our prebuilt Tool Chests are built for tradies like you — not some generic US setup.
Get the symbols, measurements and mark-ups you need — all in one spot.
What’s a Tool Chest?
Think of it like your on-site tool trailer — but digital.
In Bluebeam, the Tool Chest stores your reusable markups: symbols, colours, measurement tools, notes — all the stuff you use on every job.
We’ve done the setup for you so you can get straight into quoting.
Each one includes:
💬 Trade-specific tools and markups (lineal, square metre, item counts — the lot)
🔵 Colour-coded layers to keep your drawings clean
📚 Notes and symbols tailored to your scope
📊 Estimating-friendly output — link it straight to your take-off or cost codes
-
Measure areas, lengths, volumes straight off PDF plans — no scale ruler needed.
Count items (like downlights, fence posts, windows) with a click.
Save time on pricing and quoting — no printing, no tracing paper.
💡 Example:
A concretor can measure slab areas, mark thicknesses, and export volumes straight into a quote — in under 5 mins. -
Use preloaded tools for carpentry, concreting, electrical, roofing, etc.
Consistent symbols, colours, and markups for every quote or scope.
Build your own tools or get them pre-set (e.g. from The Tradie Desk 😉).
💡 Example:
A carpenter can use a “Frame Layout” tool set to show noggins, studs, and beams directly on a PDF. -
Drop markups directly onto plans, then generate a quote table or materials list.
Export everything to Excel or PDF.
Looks professional, builds trust with clients.
💡 Example:
A tiler can measure bathroom floors/walls and instantly create a materials + labour breakdown with clear visuals. -
Use Revu on-site with a tablet (e.g. Surface Pro).
Access live plans without needing to print.
Annotate changes, send updates to clients or contractors instantly.
💡 Example:
A roofer notices an eave change — marks it up on Revu and emails it with notes in under a minute. -
Mark up changes on the original plan.
Add comments, costs, and notes.
Track version history and approvals with a paper trail.
💡 Example:
A waterproofer can highlight an added wet area and issue a marked-up variation in minutes — no chasing paperwork. -
Store quotes, plans, and notes in one PDF workspace.
No more scrolling through email chains or hunting for the latest drawing.
Especially useful for builders juggling multiple trades and updates.
