Having printed sets of plans readily available for review is a necessity at building sites and in many other architecture, engineering and construction situations. Plans on paper can be more easily examined by the project management team. The whole picture can be taken in at a glance and granular details can be focused on in relation to the full project scheme. While tablets and other devices are fantastic in many situations, sharp, crisp printed plans are often the preferred way to view schematics and read text.
Case studies now clearly document a single best way to print construction documents from anywhere in the world and have them delivered to anywhere in the United States within one business day. As a matter of fact, all Procore software users now have the advantage of printing and delivering construction documents on-demand, to anywhere in the country, using a seamlessly integrated app. And there’s some frosting on this cake: The cost is about one-third of what almost every conventional reprographics printer will charge for full-sized and half-sized plans. This saves a lot on printing!
GCs and subcontractors can easily get their construction documents printed and delivered right from their Procore 
dashboard when choosing to use the Plans4Less.com app available as their “print plans” option with flat rate pricing of $1 per sheet including full-sized (36” x 48”) plans.
FCI Constructors, Inc. of Colorado Springs, has been using Plans4Less.com with tremendous success. Upon opening his email one day, Will Kiser, FCI project engineer, got a message from one of his firm’s Colorado offices instructing everyone in the company to use Plans4Less to save money on printing plans. He notes, “Had an employee out of our grand junction Colorado office send out a company-wide email about you guys. The cheapest plan printing we have around Williston, ND is $3 a sheet, so it’s a no-brainer to order from you!”
Plans4Less prints any full sized black & white plans for a flat rate of $1 per sheet at any quantity and delivers them to any location in the United States by the next business day. Half-sized B&W plans are only 50 cents per sheet. Full color plans are also available with the same service at the lowest prices available anywhere.
FCI Constructors is extremely pleased with the service they’re getting, even at times from Plans4Less owner Brian Burke who likes to follow up with customers personally. During a recent conversation, FCI Project Engineer Will Kiser succinctly summed up this article’s main point. “Brian, what can I say? Plans4Less is amazing! You keep delivering crisp quality plans, even the big 36 x 48’s for a dollar a print and I keep thinking what a great find…! Then you get the plans on time to exactly where my guys need them at our various sites. Even the shipping costs are low! You guys get an A+ for overall value and I’ll even throw in a gold star for your can-do attitude!”
