Case Study: McCarthy Building Companies achieves quicker access to building information with Bluebeam Software, Inc.'s Revu

McCarthy Building Companies Provides Owners with Quicker Access to Information by Creating Electronic O&Ms with Bluebeam Revu

McCarthy Building Companies, working on a 40,000‑sf emergency room and acute care addition at Olive View Medical Center, reevaluated the traditional hard‑copy Operation & Maintenance manuals after finding them difficult to manage: limited access due to check‑out, missing or outdated copies, and poor coordination between departments that impaired long‑term facility operations.

McCarthy created hyperlinked electronic O&Ms as PDFs using Bluebeam Revu, organizing commonly used information with plan-based links and a separate table of contents and leveraging Revu’s WebTab and hyperlinking to open specific files or pages. The new format saved compilation time, made correct information instantly accessible from any computer or thumb drive, simplified updates, sped staff onboarding, and improved information sharing and collaboration among facility departments and the owner.
