Is there a current workaround or replacement for the RFI and Submittal tools?

Karan Amin

Since the removal of Projects from BlueBeam Cloud, we've had a hard time managing RFIs and Submittals for our new and ongoing projects.

In about 2 weeks we will be kicking off a 11 month project that will require meticulous tracking, and documentation for RFIs and Submittals. Is there a current workaround for these two items?

The RFI and Submittal tools were 2 huge selling points for us when we signed up with BB. The desktop app is and has always been fantastic, but the sudden removal of the RFI and Submittal tools have left us in a lurch.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @Karan Amin. First, we apologize for the inconvenience the removal of the Submittal and RFI tools has caused your organization. However, we do have some work arounds. These workarounds generally include the use of our Studio platform. Studio Projects is used for the folder structure and archival of your Submittals and RFIs, while Studio Sessions is used for the review period. Below I am going to post a link of the Bluebeam webinar that was held on August 22nd, 2024 titled "RFIs and Submittals Made Easy". I hope you find the information provided in the webinar useful.
