  FAQ's for Uploading PDF's


HOW DO I FIND MY AGENCY'S PDF UPLOAD WEBSITE PORTAL?:
Your agency will provide you with the proper upload website URL at the same time you receive your project/permit number.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A "DRAWING" FILE AND AN "OTHER" FILE?:
Any file containing a drawing is a "drawing" file.  Specifications, calculation sheets, etc. (typically an 8.5x11) are "other" files.

HOW DO I NAME MY FILES FOR SUBMITTALS?:
The unique portion (usually 4 digits) of the agency provided number.  Examples could be BLD20091234 ("1234"), 09BP0010 (0010"), 0223BLD09 ("0223").  Use the 4 digits for the 1st part of the file name.  i.e. 1234drawing.pdf or 0223other.pdf, etc.

NAMING LARGE PLAN SETS:
Large Commercial drawing files may need to be broken into sections (i.e. arch, struc, elec, civil, etc.) to keep the file and size manageable.  Larger files are more difficult to upload, view, etc.  Example file names using the proper naming convention would be 1234arch.pdf, 1234struc.pdf, 1234elec.pdf, etc. 

HOW MUCH DOES A RESUBMITTAL COST?:
Resubmitals are Free IF resubmitted "drawing" file names are exactly the same AND file page count is equal to or less than the original file.  "Other" file resubmittals are free unless page count increases move you into a different price category.  i.e. 50 pages to 51 pages would cost extra.

HOW LONG BEFORE THE REVIEWER HAS MY DRAWINGS?:
During weekdays a file will typically be available for review 24 hrs after submittal.  Incorrect file naming may delay a submission.
