  7. Bluebeam Case Study Presentation by Dr. Kendall David

    Topic From Mark-up to a Provable Bill: a Governed Take-off on a Scanned G+5 Drawing Set

    Every number on a bill of quantities starts on a drawing, but between the mark-up and the bill its origin often gets lost. This case study follows a G+5 building (13 scanned sheets with no text layer) from Bluebeam Revu mark-ups to an audit-ready bill in ~30 minutes—catching scale discrepancies and calculation errors that disconnected workflows miss. Presented by Dr. Kendall David, Founder & CEO, Digital Abbot.
