Case Study: Mortenson Construction achieves 40% faster project tracking with Bluebeam Software, Inc.

How Mortenson is tracking projects 40% faster using Revu's real-time collaboration feature, Bluebeam Studio

Mortenson Construction, a leading general contractor, used to manage progress on the 12-story Ralph L. Carr Colorado Judicial Center with paper checklists and spreadsheets—a slow, error-prone process for tasks like in-wall inspections and sign-offs. The team needed a low-cost, easy-to-use way to get real-time, visual status updates, eliminate redundant verification steps, and let multiple subcontractors and staff access the same up-to-date information.

Mortenson deployed Bluebeam Revu with Bluebeam Studio to digitize markups and track work in real time; the Markups list and shared Studio sessions let multiple users update and view the same PDFs simultaneously, replace paper walkthroughs, and streamline reporting. The change cut inspection and sign-off time by about 40%, 93% of subcontractors said Studio sped up documentation, and the project saw improved quality control, traceability of who signed off and when, and faster daily coordination—now being extended into project closeout.
