February 10, 2027 & February 11, 2027, | 12:00PM-2:00PM
**This class has a mandatory pre-requisite of Bluebeam Basics or equivalent experience**
What you’ll need: Bluebeam Complete is recommended for the best experience. With another plan, you’ll still learn what’s possible and see which features you’re missing.
Turn highlighters, notepads and calculators into a takeoff system your whole team can trust. Part 1 builds takeoff tools around the materials you actually buy. Part 2 turns your takeoffs into rich, organized data that reads like a bill of materials and carries forward to purchasing and the field.
Your guide, a member of Bluebeam’s first class of Certified Instructors, has built thousands of custom takeoff tools for contractors in every trade, so every example comes from real projects.
Who it’s for: estimators, preconstruction teams, project managers and trade contractors who do takeoffs.
Learning objectives. You will be able to:
- Measure accurately on any drawing, including the tricky ones.
- Choose the right measurement for every material.
- Build custom takeoff tools your whole team can share.
- Capture rich takeoff data with custom columns and formulas.
- Turn measurements into the units you actually purchase.
- Make your takeoff data speak the same language as your spreadsheet or estimating software, then carry it forward to purchasing and the field.
- Plus secrets from thousands of custom tools built for real contractors.
