Printing Construction Drawings in Color Can Save You Money

May 14, 2016 No Comments

Printing construction drawings in color is one of the most practical investments a contractor or project manager can make. I’ve been saying this for years, and I still hear pushback: “color printing costs more, so we just use black and white.” I understand the instinct, but in my experience, that logic doesn’t hold up when you actually look at what mistakes and miscommunication cost on a job site. Printing construction drawings in color can, and does, save you money —

Going Paperless

March 4, 2016 No Comments

Going paperless is one of those ideas that sounds simple until you actually try to apply it to a construction business. I hear about it constantly — contractors, project managers, and architects are all being pushed toward digital-first workflows. And in many ways, that push makes sense. I’ve seen firsthand how reducing unnecessary paper usage can save time, cut costs, and streamline operations. But going paperless doesn’t mean going print-free, especially on a construction job site. What Going Paperless Actually

January 27, 2015 No Comments

Would one more construction project make a difference this year? When I talk about construction project printing and the role it plays in winning bids, I’ve been asking contractors, builders, and developers that question for years, and the answer is almost always the same: yes, absolutely. One more construction project per year — even a single mid-size job — can be the difference between a business that’s surviving and one that’s growing. In my experience handling construction project printing for

January 5, 2015 No Comments

Should you outsource wide format printing or invest in your own equipment? It’s one of the most common questions I hear from contractors, architects, and business owners — and after years in the reprographics industry, I have a clear answer: for most companies, outsourcing wide format printing is far more cost-effective than in-house printing, and the math tends to be more lopsided than most people expect. The True Cost of In-House Wide Format Printing When I talk to companies considering

Negotiate printing when starting a project

January 1, 2015 No Comments

One of the smartest things you can do when starting a construction project is negotiate printing costs upfront. After working with contractors, architects, and project managers for years, I’ve seen firsthand how much money gets left on the table simply because the print conversation happens too late — or never happens at all. Taking the time to negotiate printing costs before work begins can reduce your blueprint expenses by 30-40%. Why Negotiate Printing Before a Project Begins Most people think

Are digital plan rooms going to replace prints?

December 8, 2014 No Comments

Are digital plan rooms going to replace prints? It’s a question I hear from contractors, architects, and project managers all the time — and I understand why. Digital plan rooms have genuinely changed how construction teams share and access documents. But after years of working in reprographics and large format printing, my answer is clear: physical blueprint printing is not going away, and the teams that understand why are the ones making fewer costly errors on job sites. What Digital
