Travis OlsonGUEST
And that goes into class detection.
Travis OlsonGUEST
So, I mean, a lot of contractors use Bluebeam for, I don't know, looking at their plans in PDF, right? Bluebeam has released incredible AI-assisted uh, integrations over the last couple of months.
Travis OlsonGUEST
And you take an entire set of plans, you're gonna have mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, and those are different teams that built that.
Travis OlsonGUEST
Like the people think that like one engineer builds these plans.
Renee GlendenningGUEST
They're great.
Renee GlendenningGUEST
But, you know, we ran a $15 million general contracting company and our quality control department was Excel and Bluebeam and iPads.
Renee GlendenningGUEST
You can do it.
Renee GlendenningGUEST
Absolutely.
25 MINS LATER
Cy KirbyHOST
I have been in the game long enough to not necessarily, I know what cathodic protection is from the gas days and dealing with anodes, but yeah, the documentation level, just not even 10 years ago or even 15 or, you know, I first entered the industry, but compared to what it was five years ago and now what it is today, it is insane.
Cy KirbyHOST
Insane.
Renee GlendenningGUEST
Bluebeam alone has completely blown the industry up.
Renee GlendenningGUEST
I mean, the first time Greg came to me and he's like, hey, look what I did.
Evan TroxelHOST
So far, this has been mostly about BIM.
Evan TroxelHOST
Affirm's data is also in spreadsheets, Bluebeam, email, and a dozen other places.
Evan TroxelHOST
I asked Chris Rizal at DROPHIS whether that's what they're trying to fix.
Chris RazzellGUEST
Most definitely, we're looking at addressing that.
Chris RazzellGUEST
I mean, I think I think you need to sort of almost start by delineating between documents, files, and data.
Chris RazzellGUEST
I often hear people use the word data as a bit of a motherhood catch-all, as opposed to making that distinction between those elements.
Chris RazzellGUEST
You mentioned Bluebeam, one of our sister brands.
Chris RazzellGUEST
Of course, they've got a solution for document collaboration, Bluebeam Studio.
speaker_4HOST
Oh, dude.
speaker_0HOST
That's what I give her a Blue Beam.
speaker_4HOST
So-
speaker_0HOST
Ver- versus just taking-
Riley MarvinGUEST
Blue Beam has an AI feature now.
speaker_0HOST
I haven't even known that.
Riley MarvinGUEST
That came out a couple months ago, and I...
Riley MarvinGUEST
We need to try it more.
Julian GeigerGUEST
Beyond that platform, to close that off, we have launched multiple AI services already earlier this year and last year.
Julian GeigerGUEST
For example, this year we launched Bluebeam Max earlier this year.
Julian GeigerGUEST
And Bluebeam Max is an AI-dedicated package within Bluebeam.
Julian GeigerGUEST
Bluebeam is a company and a product that basically is Super well known in the US in the construction industry.
Julian GeigerGUEST
I think pretty much most construction companies use Bluebeam there.
Julian GeigerGUEST
And it's a tool for coordination, workflow coordination across the stakeholders using flow plans and other formats and being able to coordinate RFIs and other topics there.
Julian GeigerGUEST
That tour has more than 3 million users and we launched that RubyMax package earlier this year.
Chris BoydGUEST
I gotta go find the previous revisions of each of those sheets that were updated.
Chris BoydGUEST
I've gotta open them in a Bluebeam," for example.
Chris BoydGUEST
"I gotta stack them on top of each other.
Chris BoydGUEST
I gotta try and spot the knot, everything that changed because they didn't cloud certain things, and then I gotta figure out the impact." Like, I put all that in the document processing category.
Chris BoydGUEST
Until they've finished that last step in Bluebeam, they haven't actually started doing the analysis work, right, to figure out what the impact on their project is.
Chris BoydGUEST
All of that is the type of stuff we wanna automate so that when they sit down at their desk, it's all done.
Chris BoydGUEST
Now you go in and go, "Now figure it out.
Randall StevensGUEST
If we begin to think about what are those bits of information that are being produced and or knowledge that's being generated, how do we capture it? It's being encoded right now.
Randall StevensGUEST
The easy way to think of it is being encoded in those files that we're producing, whether it was that Adobe file or that Revit model or that PDF document or that Bluebeam markup.
Randall StevensGUEST
That's all forms of result, but it's been hard to figure out how to make sense of that or how to reuse it later on.
Randall StevensGUEST
So I think we're in this opportunistic stage now to start thinking about mining, how we would mine that information out of there.
Rishi SrivastavaHOST
Most of what the team would want on a PM dashboard isn't in Foundation.
Rishi SrivastavaHOST
RFIs, submittals, and closeout docs live in Word, Excel, and Bluebeam.
Rishi SrivastavaHOST
Change orders get done on spreadsheets, and as you put it, the PMs are, quote-unquote, "not going to take time to put it in Foundation." How do you bring this to people who won't change how they work?
Matt RobinsonGUEST
Well, that's a, that's a, a good question.
JimHOST
Um, so, so Rocco, in terms of, of the software systems that we work with, right, which ones have added AI features into them that can assist with, you know, this, the takeoff process, and how are people starting to respond to the inclusion of those tools?
RoccoHOST
Uh, where we're seeing the most interest is, is in Bluebeam Revu Max.
JimHOST
Yeah.
RoccoHOST
Um, that's a newly released plan that came out back in, in May.
JimHOST
Yeah.
JimHOST
And I think that ties into what I see on my end too, right? Talking to people at, at the tech angle.
JimHOST
Bluebeam Revu Max is... it's the biggest takeoff, uh, AI integration on the market today.
JimHOST
Um, and, and I think you're right, you know, other systems like, you know, Procore and Autodesk and so on, they, they're making good use of AI.
Gary BoncichGUEST
So, you know, t- t- typical job evolution here.
Gary BoncichGUEST
Um, this, this gets dropped into Bluebeam, right? So then we can start to actually fact check all of our ideas and say, "Okay, what, what will work, what will not work?" Um, and his team, he's got some amazing, you know, drafters underneath him that are able to start, you know, taking all of that, um, you know, theoretical concept and start, you know, putting it to life.
Gary BoncichGUEST
We do this prior to taking it to engineering just to see, like, proof of concept.
Gary BoncichGUEST
Like, does it work or do we need to revert back to crayon phase, is how we [chuckles] call, uh, call it.
