Preparing a Job-Site Reference Set

Short answer: a useful site set is the right issue, complete enough for the work and clearly separated from superseded drawings. This guide focuses on managing the paper set after you receive the plans.

Start with the authorized drawings

Use the issued or approved set that applies to the work. An older print can look complete while missing a changed detail. Check the sheet index, issue date and approval information before distributing copies.

Home size options

Supported sheets are 17×22, 18×24, 22×34, 24×36, 30×42 and 36×48. B&W is $1.95 per sheet and color is $3.75 per sheet at every listed size.

Decide what each recipient needs

Keep the official site set required by the local authority separate from extra working copies. Confirm whether that authority requires paper, color, binding or original signatures.
Give trades the current relevant sheets, but include the notes, schedules and details needed to understand them.
Use color where it carries information, such as phase limits or discipline markups; do not replace a required color official set with B&W.

Handle revisions without losing the record

Identify changed and added sheets against the current index.
Mark superseded paper copies clearly and move them out of the active set. Archive old source files rather than deleting the revision history.
Update every active recipient, not just the main binder. Ask the designer to resolve conflicting notes or dimensions.

Check a print before scaling from it

Match each PDF page size to the sheet size you select. A size mismatch can rescale the drawing. Before using a print for measurement, check a known written dimension or graphic scale; use specified dimensions for construction.

A uniformly resized graphic bar remains proportional to the drawing, but the written numeric scale changes. Use written dimensions and the design professional’s instructions for construction.

Shipping and local requirements
