One live drawing set from first markup to closeout
Drawboard Projects gives AEC teams a shared review space where office, field, and outside reviewers work the same live drawings. Markups, comments, and Tasks sync within seconds, so a review runs as one live conversation on the drawing, with everyone seeing the current set and the open work the moment they open the project.

Design reviews that survive every revision
A drawing set is never finished in one pass. It gets revised, reissued, and marked up again, and when review happens in a session or an exported copy, the open comments don't come with it.
Drawboard Projects keeps the review attached to the drawing itself, so every markup, task, and comment thread carries onto the new revision and stays tracked. The team sees what changed and what's still open in one place, with nothing to rebuild from a spreadsheet.
Why AEC teams choose Drawboard Projects over Bluebeam
Group reviews that keep everyone on the same page
Drawboard Projects syncs markups and comments instantly, with Live Cursors showing who is pointing where, so a review feels like standing around the plans instead of talking over screen shares. And when the room needs to focus, Spotlight locks every participant onto the presenter's view as they move through the set.

FAQ
How is Drawboard Projects different from Bluebeam Revu?
Bluebeam Revu is a Windows-first markup and takeoff tool, with team review handled through scheduled Studio Sessions and a lighter Cloud app for Apple and mobile.
Drawboard Projects is a design review platform where the whole team marks up one live set together across Web, Windows, iPad, and iOS, with Tasks and revision history kept on the drawing. Teams that rely on desktop takeoffs may still want Revu for that work, while teams whose day revolves around coordinating reviews tend to prefer Projects.
Does Drawboard Projects work on iPad and Mac?
Yes. It runs natively on Windows and iOS with full stylus, mouse, and touch support, and Mac and Android users work through a full-featured web app.
A reviewer on an iPad in the field gets the same live set and tools as someone on Windows, which is where Bluebeam's Apple experience thins out against Revu.
Can external reviewers join without a paid license?
Yes. Invite consultants, clients, and trades in as guests to review and approve on the same drawings as your team, with time-limited guest access (up to 6 months) on eligible plans for short reviews. Their feedback stays pinned to the drawing rather than arriving as a separate file to reconcile.
Can I collaborate with my team in real time?
Yes. Markups, Tasks, and comments sync within seconds across every device, so field and office see the same drawing as work happens. Live Cursors and Presence show who's reviewing a sheet and where they're pointing, so a review runs without waiting on a Studio Session to sync.
What happens to feedback when drawings are revised?
New revisions auto-stack, with title blocks scanned on upload to cut down sorting. Markups, Tasks, and threads carry forward to the new revision, so the full history of what was raised and resolved stays intact.
Drawing Overlays let you compare up to five revisions at once to confirm what changed.
Does Drawboard Projects integrate with the tools my team already uses?
Yes. It connects with Revit, Procore, and Aconex for drawing intake and review handoff, plus SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, and Dropbox for storage. Procore and Aconex are available on higher tiers.
