What is an Electronic Plan Review?

Electronic blueprint review is the process of reviewing floor designs using electronic means. This can include anything from simple email exchanges between the design team and the reviewer to more sophisticated web-based systems that allow for real-time collaboration. The advantage of electronic plan review is that it allows for a faster turnaround time on reviews, and greater transparency and accountability. Reviewers can easily track changes made to the designs, and designers can quickly incorporate feedback into their designs.

Here are five reasons why you should switch to the iPlanTables Facility Manager workstation for your electronic plan review needs:

Project drawings can be large and complex, involving many different trades and disciplines. In the past, paper blueprints were used for architectural projects, which could be cumbersome to manage.

First, electronic drawings can be easily updated as changes are made during the course of a project. Second, they can be shared with all members of a project team instantly, regardless of location. Third, they can be easily reviewed and compared side-by-side. And fourth, they can be stored electronically for easy reference in the future. For all these reasons, electronic plan review is perfect for large or small engineering projects using digital floor designs and specs.

Sit-stand desks for Facility Managers and Plan Reviewers

A sit stand desk is a desk that can be adjusted to accommodate both sitting and standing. This type of desk is becoming increasingly popular in workplaces, as it offers a number of benefits for both employees and employers. For employees, a sit-stand desk can help to improve posture, increase energy levels, and reduce the risk of back pain. For employers, a sit-stand desk can be a cost-effective way to promote employee health and productivity. In addition, a sit-stand desk is also beneficial for facility managers and building blueprints reviewers. A sit-stand desk can help to make the workplace more comfortable and ergonomic for employees, and it can also help to reduce the risk of workplace injuries. As a result, a sit-stand desk is an essential piece of office furniture for any modern workplace.

When it comes to plan review, having a dual monitor setup can be extremely beneficial. First of all, it allows you to have your large engineering set of drawings open on the large 4k touch screen, and a set of specs or building codes open on a side monitor at the same time, which can help compare and contrast. Additionally, it gives you the ability to have more information visible at one time, which can save you a lot of time in the long run. Finally, having two monitors can also help reduce eye strain, as you won’t have to constantly switch your gaze from one window to another, opening and closing, constantly panning, zooming, and scrolling…and squinting to see the small details on small monitors. The iPlanTables Facility Manager workstation includes a side monitor with options to add three more! Overall, a multimonitor setup is a great investment for anyone who does a lot of build plan reviews.
