Waterproof Building Plans & Durable Construction Drawings

DuraPlans™ – Tough, Waterproof Building Plans for Construction Sites

DuraPlans™ waterproof building plans from HFE Signs are designed for builders, architects, engineers, surveyors and construction professionals who need plans that can withstand the demanding conditions of a working site.

Unlike ordinary paper drawings, DuraPlans™ are 100% waterproof, tear resistant, wipe clean and highly durable, making them ideal for use outdoors and in busy construction environments.

Upload your PDF drawings and we will produce professional, full-colour durable building plans that can be handled repeatedly, exposed to rain and moisture and wiped clean when they become dirty.

Whether you're searching for waterproof building plans, tough CAD plans, tuff CAD plans, durable site plans or waterproof construction drawings, DuraPlans™ provide a practical alternative to standard paper plan printing.

Building Plans Made for the Construction Site

Traditional paper building plans can quickly become damaged on site. Rain, damp conditions, mud, dust and repeated handling can leave ordinary drawings torn, dirty or difficult to read.

DuraPlans™ have been developed for environments where normal paper plans simply aren't durable enough.

They are particularly suitable for:

• Building and construction plans
• CAD drawings and CAD plan printing
• Architectural drawings
• Engineering drawings
• Construction site plans
• Structural drawings
• Technical drawings
• Floor plans
• Electrical plans and schematics
• Plumbing and mechanical drawings
• Site layout plans
• Landscaping plans
• Survey drawings
• Working drawings
• Project plans
• Workshop and fabrication drawings

The result is a hard-wearing construction plan that can remain usable throughout the project rather than needing to be continually reprinted.

100% Waterproof Building Plans

One of the biggest advantages of DuraPlans™ is that they are 100% waterproof.

Building plans are frequently used outside, carried between vehicles and site offices or consulted while work is taking place. A sudden shower can be enough to ruin conventional paper drawings.

DuraPlans™ can be used in wet working environments without the same concerns. If the plans become covered in dirt or mud, simply wipe them clean using a wet cloth or sponge.

This makes them especially useful for construction teams who need important drawings readily available on site whatever the conditions.

Tough CAD Plans & Durable CAD Drawing Printing

CAD drawings frequently contain large amounts of detailed information, dimensions and technical notes, so maintaining print quality is important.

Our durable CAD plan printing service combines detailed full-colour printing with a tough, waterproof material designed for repeated handling.

Simply upload your PDF artwork when ordering.

DuraPlans™ are suitable for plans created using popular CAD, architectural and engineering software and provide an excellent solution when you're looking for tough CAD plans or tuff CAD plan printing for site use.

From individual architectural drawings to complete sets of construction plans, we can produce durable plans ready to use on site.

Waterproof Architectural Plans

Architects, designers and contractors regularly need drawings to move between the office and construction site.

DuraPlans™ provide a practical way of producing waterproof architectural drawings that can be viewed and handled on site without the vulnerability of conventional paper.

They are ideal for printing:

Floor plans • elevations • sections • site plans • construction details • specifications • working drawings • architectural drawings

Detailed full-colour printing helps retain the clarity required for complex plans and drawings.

Durable Plans for Builders & Contractors

On a busy construction site, plans may be handled by numerous trades throughout the working day.

Builders, site managers, electricians, plumbers, engineers, groundworkers and subcontractors may all need to refer to the same drawings.

DuraPlans™ are designed to cope with this repeated use.

Their combination of water resistance, tear resistance and wipe-clean durability makes them particularly suited to building sites, civil engineering projects, renovation work, property developments and other outdoor projects.

Ideal for:

Builders & Building Contractors
Keep working drawings available on site without worrying about rain or everyday handling.

Architects & Architectural Practices
Produce durable copies of architectural plans for site meetings and project use.

Civil & Structural Engineers
Print detailed engineering and structural drawings on a more robust material.

Site Managers
Keep important site layouts and construction plans accessible throughout a project.

Electricians & Mechanical Contractors
Ideal for electrical layouts, wiring diagrams and mechanical plans.

Plumbers & Heating Engineers
Produce durable plumbing, pipework and heating system drawings.

Groundworkers & Landscapers
Especially useful where plans need to be taken outdoors and used in wet or muddy conditions.

Surveyors & Property Professionals
A practical solution for plans and technical drawings that need to travel between office and site.

Rip & Tear Resistant Construction Plans

Water isn't the only problem faced by conventional plans.

Large paper drawings can become torn along folds and edges after repeated opening, folding and handling.

DuraPlans™ are designed to be rip and tear resistant, making them considerably better suited to demanding working environments.

That extra durability can make them particularly useful for longer construction projects where drawings may need to remain in use for weeks or months.

Temperature Resistant from -40°C to +70°C

DuraPlans™ have been tested across temperatures ranging from -40°C to +70°C, helping make them suitable for a wide range of working environments and storage conditions.

Combined with their waterproof and tear-resistant properties, this creates an extremely durable alternative to traditional paper construction drawings.

Full-Colour Waterproof Plan Printing

Durability doesn't mean compromising on print quality.

DuraPlans™ can be produced in full colour, making them suitable for drawings where different colours are used to distinguish services, areas, revisions, annotations or other important information.

This is particularly useful for complex:

• CAD drawings
• Architectural plans
• Engineering drawings
• Electrical layouts
• Mechanical drawings
• Site layouts
• Construction plans
• Technical diagrams

Clear printing helps ensure fine details, dimensions, annotations and line work remain easy to identify.

DuraPlans™ vs Standard Paper Building Plans

Standard paper plans are perfectly suitable for office environments, but construction sites present a very different challenge.

Rain, wet surfaces, mud, repeated folding and frequent handling can quickly damage an ordinary set of drawings.

DuraPlans™ are intended for those situations.

Instead of protecting conventional drawings inside sleeves or repeatedly replacing damaged paper copies, you can have the actual building plan printed onto a waterproof, durable material.

For site managers and contractors who regularly replace damaged drawings, this can provide a much more practical way of keeping plans available throughout a project.
