Challenge	ClearTech Engineered Solutions, a Dublin-based specialist engineering contractor, was facing a challenge of increasing demand for its services. The company designs and installs post-tensioning for bridges, buildings, roads, and other civil engineering projects. As the demand for these services rose, ClearTech found itself with more RFQs than it could answer. The company was using traditional methods for estimation, which involved printing designs and marking and measuring drawings by hand. This process was not only time-consuming but also prone to errors, leading to inaccurate estimations and rework. The company needed a solution to speed up its estimation process and respond quickly to RFQs. Read More
About Customer	ClearTech Engineered Solutions is a Dublin-based specialist engineering contractor that designs and installs post-tensioning for bridges, buildings, roads, and other civil engineering projects. The company was founded by CEO Feargal Cleary in 2010, during a major industry downturn. ClearTech’s post-tensioning process has benefits for the environment and the company’s bottom line—not only in using less concrete, but in the form of tax incentives and rebates to lower the environmental impact of building. With a decade of successfully delivering major projects, ClearTech remains a niche contracting business, with a small team of 20 full-time employees. Despite its size, ClearTech has been able to attract high-caliber clients, thanks to its lean approach, which became possible when it put Bluebeam Revu at the center of its digital operations.

Solution	ClearTech started using Bluebeam Revu to increase the speed and precision of its project estimations. Revu became the digital center for ClearTech’s practices, encompassing estimations, design and revisions, QA/QC, and document management. The software helped ClearTech save thousands of euros by cutting the cost of paper printing for design comparisons and revisions. The overlay tools in Revu resulted in faster markup methods and reduced work hours per project. ClearTech also used Revu for digital document management, using it not only for designs but for all of its PDF documents. The overlay tool in Revu was used by ClearTech engineers in the design revision process to compare plans and quickly spot design differences. The company also used Revu to set key performance indicators (KPIs) for engineers on site to track how long each task requires, as well as to input that data into custom column sets in Revu.
