Project Plan Organization and Management

All hard copy documents are scanned.
Digital files can be uploaded.
All documents are then indexed and posted to a Virtual Private Plan Room.

Private Plan Room

printNET organizes and keeps track of your documents as they are added to ensure that you always have the most current sets available.
E-mail update notifications to all privileged members.
These documents are easily accessible from anywhere in the world.

Virtual Private Plan Rooms

Each client can access their password protected private plan room to view and order construction documents — both plans and specifications.
Revision Tracking: When someone orders the “most current set” from a plan room, they are assured they will receive the most current set of plans.

Centralized Print Ordering

We print all sizes of construction documents and specifications.

Document Storage and Archiving

printNET provides secure storage of all construction documents and specifications for 60 days after your project has ended.
When there has been no activity on the project for 60 days, we will notify you of archiving options.
We offer a variety of options for project archiving. From CD/DVD creation of data files to continued online availability, you define the way your project is archived.
