plans virgin

[Jamil]

Evening all,
Just went to price a job and nearly pooed myself when I seen the size of it as I am used to plastering small size domestic houses. anyway I didn't no where to start and the customer said he can send me the plans. I thought They cant be that hard. They are.
so my questions are what size paper do I get the plans printed on?and do I need to get a scale ruler or just a normal 1? and I assume you use the scale to measure the sizes??? I understand these may be silly questions to some people but that's what forums are for. any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers

Get someone to price it, you are completely in the dark.

I know a good QS who prices work for us and only charges us if we get the job. Ask around your mates in the trade hopefully someone might know one

Get yourself a 3sided scale rule, the scale ratio will be printed on the drawings, and a set of florescent markers to keep track off what you have measured . Make sure you have an elevation drawing for room heights if not a standard construction.

And get it printed at the right size!
It will say on the drawing next to the scale.
Hobbs are good for printing. Get a couple of copies.
