Case Study: Interstate Electrical boosts lean construction efficiency with Bluebeam Revu

Interstate Electrical cuts drawing upload time from 10–30 minutes with Bluebeam Software, Inc.

Interstate Electrical, a regional commercial electrical contractor, faced challenges with inefficient, paper-based workflows. Their processes for estimating, change orders, and markups were slow, error-prone, and hindered collaboration, leading to costly rework and delays. They sought to digitize and streamline operations as part of a lean transformation.

The vendor, Bluebeam Software, implemented its solution, Bluebeam Revu, to digitally transform workflows. Using features like Bluebeam Studio for collaboration, the Tool Chest for standardized markups, and Overlay Pages for comparing drawings, Interstate Electrical achieved significant efficiency gains. Bluebeam's solution improved estimation speed and accuracy, streamlined change order reviews, enabled precise prefab instructions, and reduced costly errors, allowing the company to bid for and complete more work with better profit margins.
