Blueprint Printing for Phoenix: Full-Size Stamped Plan Sets from SHAPE PHX
Phoenix plan sets are $1.95 a sheet in black and white or $3.75 in color at 18×24, 24×36, 30×42 or 36×48, and orders in by 3 PM ET ship the same day to all 50 states. Phoenix Planning & Development reviews plans through SHAPE PHX as a single combined PDF printed at true 1:1 scale, with space on each sheet for the City’s approval stamp. On residential jobs, the stamped plans should be on site for the inspector. Self-Certification training tells contractors to get a full-size 24×36 set from EPR, and civil sites need a copy of every City-approved plan set.

What Phoenix Planning & Development asks for
Plans go in through SHAPE PHX electronic plan review. Printing comes in at the job site, where the stamped plans should be available for the inspector. Quoted from SHAPE PHX submittal requirements and PDD’s inspection pages:
| Rule | What the City says | Source |
|---|---|---|
| One file | “Plan sets are required to be submitted as a single, combined, multi-page PDF file.” | SHAPE PHX Electronic Plan Review Submittal Requirements |
| Sheet sizes | Sheets that can be submitted electronically: “8 ½” x 11”, 11” x 17”, 24” x 36”, and 30” x 42”.” | Same |
| True scale | “Plot or print drawing sheets at full 1:1 scale from your authoring software. This is also called 100% or “to scale” output. Do not use “scale to fit” printing.” | Same |
| City stamp | “Each plan sheet shall be provided with a blank rectangular space (2.75’’ x 2’’ min) for the city of Phoenix approval stamp.” | Same |
| Residential job site | “The permit should be posted and the stamped plans should be available for the inspector’s use on the job site.” | PDD Residential Inspections page |
| Self-Cert field set | Training tips for the Self-Certification Program: “Make sure contractor gets full size 24” x 36” set of plans from EPR” · “Use approved field set for construction” | PDD Self-Certification Program renewal training slides, “Field Issues” |
| Civil sites | Required at construction sites: “Copy of all City approved plan set(s)” | PDD Civil Engineering Construction Inspection Checklist (TRT/DOC/00027) |
How that plays out for printing:
- Self-cert jobs: get a full-size field set. The City’s training for its Self-Certification Program tells contractors to get a full-size 24×36 set of plans from EPR. We print 24×36 (and 30×42 if that’s how the set was drawn) at the same $1.95 a sheet.
- Keep it 1:1. SHAPE PHX sheets are plotted at full scale, and we print your PDF exactly as uploaded (no resizing), so order the size the sheets were drawn and measurements on the field set stay true.
- One file in, one file out. Phoenix wants the plan set as one combined PDF, so the approved set usually comes back as one file. Upload it as is and choose the number of copies.
- Stamped means approved. Print the set that carries the City approval stamp, not an earlier review cycle.
The City says to plot at full 1:1 scale, not “scale to fit” (how to check). Nearby: Mesa.
We print the stamped PDF on white 20 lb bond at 1:1, exactly as the City approved it. Planning & Development and your designer decide what’s needed in the field, so confirm with them first.

Frequently asked questions
Who prints Phoenix EPR field sets?
Download the stamped set from EPR, upload it here and we ship the full-size set to the site. Orders placed by 3 PM ET ship the same day.
What size should a Phoenix field set be?
The City doesn’t set one field-set size for every permit. Its Self-Certification Program training tells contractors to get a full-size 24×36 set of plans from EPR, and SHAPE PHX also accepts 30×42 sheets. Print at the size the sheets were drawn; we print both at the same price.
Do I need stamped plans on the job site in Phoenix?
Phoenix Residential Inspections says the permit should be posted and the stamped plans should be available for the inspector’s use on the job site.
Do you resize my plans?
No. We print your PDF exactly as uploaded, so choose the size the sheets were drawn at. SHAPE PHX asks for drawings plotted at full 1:1 scale, so the printed set matches the drawn scale.
Can I upload the approved set as one PDF?
Yes. Phoenix requires plan sets as a single combined PDF, and we take one PDF for the whole set. Pick the size and number of copies at checkout.
Do Scottsdale or Tempe use SHAPE PHX?
No. SHAPE PHX is the City of Phoenix’s system. Scottsdale, Tempe and other Valley cities have their own permit portals.
