Bluebeam vs FieldAR

Bluebeam for iOS keeps you connected to your teams and documents, so you can quickly access the information you need in the field and capture what matters for the office. - Communicate with markups using tools like callouts, text, clouds, and status indicators - Import your team's custom Tool Sets from Revu, so your standardized markups are ready to go in the field, even offline - Attach photos captured in the field directly to a markup, so supporting documentation stays organized without cluttering your drawings - Open your files stored on your device, Studio Projects, or Studio Sessions - Join Studio Sessions for live collaboration. If your connection drops, your changes sync when you're back online - Check out files in Studio Projects to make edits, then check them back in when you're ready - Work offline by syncing Project files ahead of time or opening PDFs stored on your device Whether you’re reviewing submittals, placing markups in the field, or tracking revisions with your team, Bluebeam gives you the flexibility to get the job done from anywhere.

The FieldAR mobile app enables your entire project team to effortlessly view the latest BIM/3D design models overlaid onto your real-world construction site using precision augmented reality. FieldAR’s primary objective is to provide a central source of truth for quality assurance, quality control, and the precise locations of installed systems and equipment at active or completed construction sites. With FieldAR, users can visualize BIM/3D models overlaid onto real-world construction sites with a simple, single-tap operation, making it easy for even non-tech-savvy field staff to see the exact locations of designed building system elements. BIM/VDC Managers can leverage the FieldAR plugins to easily upload and update models directly to the FieldAR mobile app, ensuring that the entire team is working with the most current information. Additionally, markups captured by team members using the mobile app on-site can be viewed back in the BIM platforms through the FieldAR plugins, creating a seamless workflow of information between off-site BIM management and the construction site. FieldAR empowers your team to save money, reduce re-work, and optimize project schedules while enhancing productivity and collaboration. FieldAR supports 8 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Polish, Russian, and Chinese (zh-Hans).
