Bluebeam Alternative

We have used bluebeam previously and have been using pdf xchange editor.

We are doing plan review so most of bluebeam is useless to us. What is helpful is the measurement tools and pdf xchange is great for free but not nearly as nice as bluebeam for measurements. Any other alternatives I should be looking at?

Measurements compliant with BS8233:2014?

My building must comply with BS8233:2014. However, the train noise seems loud (especially during the night when everything else is quiet).

I've taken db measurements from my bedroom using a phone app. Can anybody tell whether they are likely compliant with BS8233:2014?

I am aware that a measurement with a phone is not accurate. However, I'd like to get a general idea of whether the building is compliant before spending several hundred pounds on a professional measurement.

"NEW" The NFPA® Fire Protection Handbook® (FPH®), 21st edition (volume 1&2) available

I've had them sitting on the bookshelf for 2+ years and I have no plans on using them so I figured I'd see if anyone on here might need them. I'll let them go for $350 (located in central California)

(UPDATE: SOLD)
