YOU ALREADY MEASURE IN BLUEBEAM. THIS MEASURES FOR YOU.
If you searched for a plugin that automates your Bluebeam takeoff, read the next paragraph before anything else — it will save you a demo call.
By the Marapone team · Updated 2026
Marapone is not a Bluebeam plugin
It does not install into Revu, it does not add a toolbar, and it does not write measurements back into your .bax files. If a plugin is specifically what you need, this is the wrong product and you should stop reading here.
What it is: a separate program that opens the same PDF drawing set and measures it itself. You keep Bluebeam for markup, revision compare and everything you already do in it. The measuring is what moves.
What changes on a tender
A 26-page architectural set goes in and comes back with the quantities read off the sheets — concrete, block, steel, finishes — plus the code checks and the conflicts between drawings. The recording on our homepage is one of those runs, unedited, so you can see how long it actually takes before you decide anything.
The estimator's job shifts from measuring to checking. That is a smaller change than replacing your PDF tool and a bigger one than it sounds — the measuring is the part that eats the evenings.
Where the numbers go next
Straight into the estimator, if you have it — quantities become a priced bid with the contingency justified line by line, without anyone retyping a figure. Or out as Excel and PDF, if your pricing already lives somewhere else.
Everything stays on your machine. There is no cloud step, no upload, and no queue behind somebody else's tender.
What it costs
$99 a month on the Field plan opens the Blueprint Auditor and the AI Estimator on one seat; $249 opens all five programs for a team of five. Pay yearly and two months are free. Cancel any time from your own dashboard, and a setup call is included so the first run happens with us on the screen.
SEND ONE DRAWING SET
AND SEE THE QUANTITIES.
One real file off a live job. A written report and a video walkthrough back inside the seven free days, and an honest answer if one of the finished programs already covers it.
