The PDF Set plan package is your best value, and provides you with an electronic version of the plan's construction documents. This plan package provides many advantages over other plan packages including:
Need more copies of the plan? No problem! Simply take the file to any local print shop and have them print out your copies in your desired size. In addition, you will have the copies available for use…THAT DAY!
Need different size copies for different people? Easy! You can print out an 8 1/2 x 11 set for your office, a 11 x 17 set for your local building officials, a 18 x 24 set for your builder, a 24 x 36 master set for yourself! Unlimited flexibility!
Need to modify the plan? We've got you covered! Simply take the PDF to a local building design professional and they will be able to update your drawings in the same way as if you provided them with a printed reproducible set.
Need your plans immediately? No need to wait for your plans to ship! We can email you the PDF file, usually the same day!
