Printing Architectural Drawings to Scale
For drawings that need to stay accurate, send us a print ready PDF and include the required sheet size and scale instructions.
When requesting a quote, let us know:
- The finished sheet size
- Whether the file should print at 100%
- The drawing scale, if applicable
- Whether “fit to page” should be avoided
- Colour or black and white
- Number of sets required
If the drawing is reduced or enlarged without checking the scale, measurements on the printed plan may no longer be accurate.
For best results, review our File Preparation Guidelines before sending your files.
Colour or Black and White Construction Plans?
oth options work well. The right choice depends on how the drawings will be used and whether colour is important.
Black and White Plan Printing: Ideal for construction drawings, permit sets, tender documents, and site copies where clear linework is the priority.
Colour Plan Printing: Best for drawings with markups, revisions, zoning, mechanical or electrical systems, or other colour coded details.
Need a Mix of Both? If only certain sheets need colour, let us know. The rest of the set can be printed in black and white.
Turnaround, Pickup and Delivery for Plan Sets
Construction drawings often need to be printed around project deadlines, tender dates, permit submissions, site meetings, and drawing revisions.
Send us your PDF files along with the sheet size, number of sets, finishing requirements, and the date you need them. We will review the job and confirm the turnaround before printing.
We can prepare anything from individual revised sheets to complete architectural and engineering drawing sets, including folding and collating when required.
Pickup is available in Hamilton and Burlington. Delivery options can also be discussed for larger or ongoing projects.
