Printing & Plotting Services
Once your architectural or CAD drawings have been completed, having them available as high-quality printed drawings can be useful for planning applications, project discussions and use on site.
As an additional service to its CAD drawing services, KR CAD Solutions can provide drawings in printed format up to A1 size. This provides a convenient way for clients to receive physical copies of their drawings alongside the digital CAD files produced for their project.
KR CAD Solutions is not a general printing service. Printing and plotting are provided as part of the wider architectural, building design and CAD services we offer.
What Are Printing & Plotting Services?
Printing and plotting are terms commonly used within the architectural, engineering and construction industries for producing large-format technical drawings from CAD files.
Unlike standard office printing, large-format plotting allows architectural and technical drawings to be produced at appropriate scales and sizes.
For example, an architectural drawing may need to be printed at A3, A2 or A1 depending on the size and complexity of the drawing and how it needs to be used.
KR CAD Solutions can provide printed drawings up to A1 size as an additional service alongside its CAD design and drawing work.
Printed CAD Drawings for Building Projects
Having a physical copy of a drawing can still be useful even when the main project information is provided digitally.
Printed architectural drawings can provide a convenient reference when discussing a project with builders, contractors, tradespeople or other professionals.
They can also be useful during site visits, where having a physical drawing available can make it easier to discuss layouts, dimensions and proposed changes.
For domestic projects, printed drawings may include plans, elevations, sections and other architectural drawings prepared as part of the project.
Printing Drawings for Planning Applications
Architectural drawings are commonly produced digitally as part of the planning process, but there can still be situations where printed copies are useful.
For example, you may want physical copies of your existing and proposed plans for your own records or for discussions relating to your project.
Where printed drawings are required, KR CAD Solutions can provide suitable copies of the CAD drawings produced as part of its architectural and planning services.
The exact format, scale and number of copies required will depend on the individual project and the requirements of the relevant planning authority.
Large-Format Drawing Printing
Architectural and technical drawings can contain a considerable amount of information, particularly when showing an entire building or a detailed design.
Printing at a larger size can make this information easier to read and work with.
KR CAD Solutions can provide drawings up to A1 size, giving clients the option of receiving larger-format copies where appropriate.
This can be particularly useful for larger floor plans, elevations, technical drawings and other CAD documents where a smaller sheet size may make the information more difficult to read.
Printed Drawings Alongside Your CAD Files
Printing and plotting are offered as an additional service to KR CAD Solutions’ wider CAD drawing services.
The primary service remains the creation of accurate architectural and CAD drawings. Once those drawings have been completed, printed copies can be supplied alongside the digital versions where required.
This means clients can obtain the drawing in the format that best suits their needs without having to arrange separate printing elsewhere.
Depending on the project, this can provide a simple way to receive both digital CAD documentation and physical copies of the completed drawings.
A Convenient Additional CAD Service
KR CAD Solutions provides architectural design, building plans and 2D and 3D CAD services for domestic projects.
Adding printing and plotting to these services gives clients another practical option when their drawings have been completed.
Whether you need a printed set of plans for a house extension, renovation, loft conversion or other domestic building project, drawings can be supplied up to A1 size as part of the wider CAD service.
If you require architectural or CAD drawings and would also like printed copies, contact KR CAD Solutions to discuss your project and printing requirements.
