Bluebeam Max Explained: AI Markups, Takeoffs, and Connected Workflows with Luke Prescott

41m | Nov 10, 2026

What happens when nearly 25 years of construction technology innovation meets artificial intelligence? Bluebeam is entering a new era, and the possibilities for construction professionals are just getting started. In this episode of The ConTech Crew, we geek out with Luke Prescott, VP of Product at Bluebeam, about the evolution of one of the construction industry's most widely used tools and how Bluebeam Max is transforming the way teams interact with drawings, markups, and project data.


From his early days swinging a hammer on construction sites to leading product and design at Bluebeam, Luke brings a unique perspective on what it takes to build technology that actually solves problems for the people doing the work. The conversation leads to the balance between 2D and 3D workflows, connecting Revit models with Studio Sessions, and Bluebeam's vision for making project information accessible across desktop, web, and mobile devices.


But the biggest shift: AI-powered markups and intelligent data workflows. With Bluebeam Max, construction professionals can begin moving beyond manually creating and managing markups toward using AI to generate, enrich, and connect information across applications. Whether it's turning a simple measurement into detailed estimating data or connecting field-level decisions directly to a BIM model, the potential to eliminate repetitive work is significant.
