What we print
- Architectural drawings and layouts.
- Engineering, electrical and plumbing drawings.
- Site plans and survey drawings.
- Landscape and interior design plans.
- Student design projects and portfolios; see school project printing.
Plans are typically A2, A1 or A0, in black and white or colour. Sizes and prices show online when you configure the product, or the team will quote. A3 colour prints are R9.00 per copy. Browse Large Format Prints.
Keeping plans to scale
- Export PDFs at the actual sheet size, not "fit to page".
- Include a scale bar on each drawing as a check.
- Make sure line weights are set so fine lines print visibly.
- Name files with drawing number and revision, for example "A-101 Rev C".
- Supply one PDF per set with sheets in order, or a clear list of drawings and quantities.
If a plan is printed at the wrong scale, it is usually because the PDF page size did not match the intended sheet. Check this before uploading. See Accepted File Formats.
Overnight for site meetings and submissions
Overnight needs the order, approved files and cleared payment by 1:00 PM. For large sets, contact us in the morning with the number of sheets and sizes so we can confirm the job fits the run. Overnight is one of five tiers. The others are Economy (about 5 working days, 10% less), Standard (about 3 working days, listed price), Express (next working day, +20%) and Same-day for eligible items in by 09:00 (+30%). Full rules are on Turnaround and Cutoffs.
Plans are rolled for collection from Shop L23, Rivonia Central from 8:30 AM. For submissions with a fixed time, collecting is more predictable than courier. Contractors working in growth areas such as Waterfall or Midrand can collect on the way to site.
