Best Practices for Digitising Plan Reviews
By SIMBIM Solutions

Originally published on 23 January 2023. Versions, prices, offers and partnerships may have changed.
Most people don't change because of their fear of change itself. But it is inevitable to see how our industry is evolving, and we have no choice but to go with the flow if we want to be included.
A clear example of blueprint revisions. It is something recurrent in our daily lives; however, there are still professionals whose protocols are based on printing the drawings and using scale-meters and markers to communicate as best as possible to report the incidents or changes between teams. In better cases, these incidents are compiled on a data sheet rather than paper. But still, there needs to be more traceability, and we already know that such manual and disconnected practices often need to be corrected and understood.
I hope that up to this point, we all agree that this problem, with such an immediate solution as digitisation, requires an urgent Change with a CAPITAL C! Now let's talk about you.
Did you start your digital transformation at any time in the past? Have you tried a digital transformation strategy but need convincing that you are doing it right? Do you want to change, but you need to know where to start, and you are afraid that digitalisation will make you lose control of how you work?
Join us on January 27 to learn how to digitise your plan revisions with Bluebeam Revu the right way. You will hear tips for standardising tools and processes across teams. Plus, you will learn change management strategies to ease the transition and ensure success as Revu adapts to your work, not the other way around.

What if you or your colleagues are using BIM software and still need to find the best way to collaborate? We'll impress you by showing you the transparent connection between Archicad and Revu to share the same revisions in both tools. The upcoming webinar on Friday, 27th of January, covers the following:
- Best practices for digital plan revisions with Revu.
- How to detect changes between drawing submissions to ensure you approve the proper documents.
- How to speed up the review process with standardised markups.
- How to use the markup list in Revu to easily create complete lists of corrections.
- How to import markups from Revu into ArchiCAD to apply changes
