Plan Scanning Service

Construction projects generate a large quantity and diverse formats of plans requiring long or permanent retention.

Local government and other approving authorities have plans submitted to them of all size, type and quality creating problems of storage, indexing and access.

Imaging can play an important part in ensuring plans and drawings are secure and available over the long term at the lowest possible cost.

FileSaver’s plan scanning service operates latest wide format scanning systems to produce high quality images of plans and documents up to A0+ or 1100 mm wide and unlimited length.

Images are provided in Black and White, Grayscale or Colour in PDF, TIF or JPG format.

Each plan or drawing is referenced with appropriate index information such as drawing number and revision; project number and name; date; Development Application Number; etc.

For organisations utilising a document management system, the metadata can be provided in a format mapped to your import fields for TRIM, SharePoint, Hummingbird, DocuShare and others.

Images and metadata can be provided on DVD, portable hard drive or delivered via FTP or VPN connection.

In addition to plan scanning, we can perform all aspects of file or plan culling and packing, removal of folded plans from files, reassembly of files, and storage or destruction of scanned plans. This can make the entire process entirely hands-off leaving your staff free to get on with their core tasks.
