Live model on iPads or issued PDFs for the field

Architects want us running the live Revit model in ACC on iPads so clashes get caught faster, but spotty service and mid‑day tweaks are scrambling crews; when we stick to Bluebeam-issued PDFs the site stays stable, yet we miss late design edits and RFI count climbs. What’s your practical split - weekly locked PDFs for foremen with Navisworks/Revizto access for supers/layout, or another combo that keeps architects nimble without whiplashing the field?

We run weekly locked PDFs for crews, give supers/layout Revizto with views cached offline every morning in the trailer, and set a 1 p.m. cut-off for model pushes - anything after becomes a next‑day one-page ‘delta sheet’ that’s clouded and handed to foremen. That kept RFIs down without mid‑day chaos and still lets architects see clashes in near‑real time.
