Case Study: Linköping University teaches construction logistics with Bluebeam Revu

Linkoping University teaches construction logistics with Bluebeam in a 266-apartment project

Linköping University faced the challenge of preparing construction engineering students for the digital, data-driven workflows of modern construction logistics, a critical area often not taught despite its significant impact on costs. Industry partners indicated that graduates lacked fluency in these essential digital tools. To address this, Professor Martin Rudberg turned to the vendor Bluebeam Software, Inc. and its product Bluebeam Revu, supported by the Bluebeam Academic Program.

The solution involved using Bluebeam Revu to create a hands-on lab where students plan a real 266-apartment project on the contractor's actual drawings. This approach cut software onboarding to a single guest lecture, freeing class time for logistics. Students collaborated using scaled tool sets and Studio Sessions, producing constructible plans. The vendor Bluebeam enabled a realistic learning experience that sent graduates into the field fluent in a tool they frequently encounter professionally, with one alumna now using it daily at Skanska.
