Case Study: JOHNSONKREIS achieves streamlined end-to-end workflows with Bluebeam Software, Inc.'s Revu

General Contractor JOHNSONKREIS Solves Workflow Woes With Bluebeam Revu

JOHNSONKREIS Construction, founded in 1992 in Birmingham, Alabama, specializes in worship, hospitality, commercial and institutional projects. The firm struggled with inefficient workflows—repeatedly marking up multiple plan sets, deciphering scanned and handwritten documents, cumbersome takeoff and estimation tools, and slow delivery of updated drawings—so they needed a single, easy-to-learn solution that could be adopted company-wide.

By rolling out Bluebeam Revu from preconstruction through closeout, JOHNSONKREIS created custom takeoff/export workflows, ran digital design reviews and real-time collaboration via Bluebeam Studio, used Revu iPad for field access and mobile punchlists, and delivered hyperlinked O&Ms. The result was faster decision-making and document distribution (shaving weeks off schedules), hundreds of work hours saved, clearer communication across teams and partners, and broader adoption of Revu among project partners.
