Plans4Less.com Promises Prompt Prints for $1 Each

Large Format Plans at One-Third the Price of Big Box Copy Centers — First 4 Plans Are Free

(Issued October 2015) — Large format prints for $1? Brian Burke has found his niche.

“Time is money, especially in the world of construction,” says Brian Burke, owner of Plans4Less.com (www.Plans4Less.com). “The faster architects, engineers,  contractors and real estate people can turn digital project specification documents into large format prints, the sooner their team can review and complete RFP’s and submit their bids.  Every day we’re helping our clients meet deadlines, enabling them to submit bids on time and win contracts. We save them time, money and anxiety – while helping their bottom line.”

 Burke, with 20 years of experience in the reprographics and printing business, pledges to provide clients with the lowest prices and fastest turnaround in the industry. “On pricing, we’ve turned back the clock to 1980,” smiles Burke, “but on technology, we’re firmly focused on tomorrow.” Plans4Less.com accepts documents in industry standard .tif, .pdf and .dwf files. As an inducement, for a limited time anyone who places an order via email to  brian@plans4less.com  will receive the first four prints in any standard large format size for free.

Burke, who has already signed up print partners across the country, has talked to owners of firms who are either contemplating or already have invested in costly large-format printers. “No need to spend thousands on a printer when you have Plans4Less.com. Think of us as part of your team, delivering the next day if orders arrive by 4 pm (ET).”Burke says Plans4less.com provides quality black and white or color large format plans at one fixed rate of $1 per sheet — no processing fee, monthly service charge, or minimum order requirements. Also, there are no same-day service or rush charges. Next-day ground delivery rates apply. 

Plans4Less.com ships direct to the client’s office or construction jobsite. The fixed rate is for standard architectural and engineering sizes: 36 x 48”, 30 x 42” and 24 x 36.”  Big Box stores are charging $ 3.00 to $ 4.00 per plan for the same service. It’s a savings of 300% – a no-brainer.

“Our clients are often under tremendous pressure to meet their deadlines,” says Burke. “They can count on us to deliver as promised. We’re as close as your smart phone, computer or tablet. When you get a new issue, an update, bulletin or revisions, simply forward it to us. You’ll have your plans the next day.” Large files can be easily uploaded to  www.Plans4Less.com .

Plans4Less.com Makes Construction-Related Reprographics Faster, More Affordable

Plans4Less.com Makes Construction-Related Reprographics Faster, More Affordable

Company founder, Brian Burke Tells SmartBidNet Users: “Just think of us as the FTD of the Reprographics Industry”

Brian Burke-ConTech-Trio-interview

Brian Burke, visionary founder of Plans4Less.com, who calls his business model “the FTD of the reprographics industry,” was the featured guest on the popular,  highly-acclaimed #ConTechTrio PodCast (‘Talking Construction Tech’ – Follow link:  https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=plans4less) during the 2016 SmartBidNet Users Conference held this summer in Austin, Texas. The topic was ‘The Changing Repro Industry.’ (Shown are Brian Burke at left and Rob Mckinney of JBKnowledge.)

Burke has caught the industry’s attention since launching Plans4Less.com several years ago, an innovative fixed-rate pricing model being used by construction industry-related firms of all sizes and types across the U.S. His concept was adopted by an industry leader in online construction bid software, SmartBidNet, a product of JBKnowledge, which has integrated Plans4Less.com into their software for general contractors and subcontractors.

The integration and collaboration made possible through the combination of SmartBidNet’s software and the Plans4Less reprographics capabilities puts contractors and subs, literally, on the same page. Using Plans4Less.com, project managers can turn digital documents into large format prints, delivered almost anywhere within 24 hours – sometimes even on the same day thanks to Burke’s national partner network.

During the SmartBidNet Conference podcast, Burke described advantages of using Plans4Less.com and notably, the value of consistency in using the same company for all job sites. “A company with a jobsite in Texas and one in New York can be using the same printer, and relax knowing their plans will be delivered next day at a consistent price, wherever they’re needed,” said Burke. “The flat rate pricing allows companies to know what they’ll be spending on each job before placing the order. It takes location-based variables out of the equation.”

Hosting the interview with Burke were the ConTechTrio: SmartBidNet maker JBKnowledge’s CEO James Benham; Rob McKinney of ConAppGuru, a source for apps to manage and track tools for construction; and Building Information Modeling (BIM) Consultant Josh Bone.  

Burke is a pioneer in the reprographics industry having helped it evolve from pre-computer technology. He told Conference attendees, “As the technology improved, I saw a way to make the price point more accessible and reasonable for subcontractors. When customers sought large scale drawings, they often had to play a cost guessing game using an arbitrary sliding scale, with the price based on the number of square feet per order. We simplified the equation: One dollar for one full-size plan, regardless of square footage, and 50 cents per half size plan.”

Attendees at the SmartBidNet Users Conference had the opportunity to interact and learn directly from the SmartBidNet Product and Support Teams who led sessions on managing prequalification, invitations to bid, subcontractors, bid tabulations, compliance and more. Attendees networked with SmartBidNet users from around the world, and shared best practices using the system. Participants also tried new construction technology, such as Virtual Reality visualization tools for BIM modeling, and more.

During ConTechTrio podcasts, the hosts and special guests discuss all things construction tech including hardware, software, devices, apps, and strategies for applying them on construction projects. For updates and to join the conversation, follow #ConTechTrio.
