Electronic Plan Files:
Submittal Requirements

All electronic plan submittals must conform with the requirements listed below. Please contact [email protected] if you have any questions.

Plan Submittal:

  • Plans shall be submitted in a PDF format.
  • A vector-based PDF is required. A Raster PDF, created from a scanned image, will not be accepted except when no other option is available.
  • Multiple plan sheets shall be combined into a single file.
  • Sheets shall be bookmarked.
  • The bookmarked sheets must be identified by descriptive names which match the index of drawings on the cover sheet of the submittal.
  • When creating drawings in CAD it is preferred that true type fonts be utilized for text.
  • A title block must be provided on each page to accommodate an electronic stamp. The title block must be a minimum of 2 inches in height and a minimum of 5 inches in width. The title block must be in a consistent location on each sheet of the submittal.
  • Plans must be sealed. An electronic seal (dry seal) will be accepted.
  • Plans must be flattened by the designer prior to submittal.

Accessory Information:

  • Accessory information, product data sheets for example, must be submitted in a PDF format.
    There are two options for submitting accessory information:

    • Option One is to combine all accessory information into a single PDF format. When this approach is utilized the individual documents must be bookmarked. The bookmarked documents must be identified by descriptive names which clearly identifies the information contained in each document.
    • Option Two is to submit an individual PDF for each document. Each PDF must be identified by a descriptive name which clearly identifies the information contained in the PDF.
  • DO NOT merge all accessory documents into a single PDF unless the pages are bookmarked and descriptive names provided. This can result in a large PDF which makes searching for specific information cumbersome.
