Bluebeam Revu is a very popular PDF markup and collaboration tool for the construction industry.  Each year, the technology company updates its flagship program to adapt to how their customers currently use the program and makes changes to increase their productivity.  Bluebeam recently announced the launch of Revu 2018 and we have a breakdown of all of the changes.

Overall, Oregon was in the middle of the pack with regards to hourly wage for the 25 construction professions analyzed, with an average ranking of 18. However, the Northwest state has the 3rd highest cost of living, according to MERIC, as it costs 31% more to live there versus the average state.

The construction industry has never been one to freely share information without charging a fee.  That’s changed slightly recently, with some major players willing to provide useful tools and information to help us become better.  For instance, we recently shared that Procore has released hundreds of free continuing education courses on their education platform.  Another useful site we’ve found recently has shared dozens of toolbox talks to help your team on the jobsite learn about safety.
