Streamline Your Projects with Professional Blueprint Scanning Services

Blueprint scanning services help bring highly technical and intricate documents into the digital age. And with more effective tools for all sorts of document and photo editing coming onto the market every day, having digital access to your blueprints is essential.

For architects, engineers, project managers, and city planners who use blueprints on a daily basis, having them available digitally is crucial. When digitized, they become easier to use, share and store. In addition, it helps reduce the amount of space needed in your office, and you don’t have to worry about them degrading from travel and use.

The Benefits of Scanning Blueprints with Record Nations

As with digitizing any type of document, there are clear benefits for scanning blueprints. From accessibility to better preservation of your documents, there is a clear upside in moving to the digital space for your blueprints.

Improved Accessibility

One of the key benefits of blueprint scanning is increased accessibility. Scanning blueprints to a USB or document management system makes it available to anyone who needs it. From the coworker who needs to make edits, to the client that needs to review it, it becomes simple for them to do so, through the click of a button, rather than through the mail or an in-person visit.

Ease of Use

With the bevy of digital editing tools available, scanning makes them instantly available for use. After making your draft, you can edit it with your computer, tablet, or even phone. Adding to these benefits, you can collaborate with coworkers in the field or an entirely different office.

Document Preservation

Due to the technical nature of many blueprints, even small degradations add up quickly. A pristinely drafted blueprint can fade quickly through travel and use. With scanning, you can preserve all the details you need to get your job done. You can also easily back up the file, meaning it’s recoverable in the event of some sort of disaster.

Saving Space

Blueprints typically run large, and large documents take up a lot of space. With scanning, you can store hundreds of blueprints on a single hard drive or server. This can free up more office space than you expect, giving you more room for offices, meeting rooms, or even a ping pong table.

Employees can securely retrieve blueprints at their convenience, ensuring continuous productivity and workflow efficiency.

Security & Compliance

Security measures such as encryption and password protection make on-site and remote document access more secure. Additionally, digital solutions allow for selective access, ensuring only authorized personnel can view blueprints or confidential materials. This not only ensures compliance but also streamlines the authorization process when required.
