Why Scanning Blueprints Matters – And Why FADGI Compliance is Critical 🔹
1/ Ever walked into an office overflowing with rolls of blueprints? 📜 While physical plans have their charm, they also come with risks: damage, loss, and inefficiency.
2/ Scanning blueprints isn't just about going digital—it’s about preserving history, improving workflows, and ensuring compliance. But not all scans are created equal.
3/ Enter FADGI compliance (Federal Agencies Digital Guidelines Initiative). 🏛️ FADGI ensures that scanned documents meet high standards of accuracy, clarity, and longevity.
4/ Why does this matter? A low-quality scan can mean missing details, incorrect dimensions, or unreadable notes—issues that can lead to costly mistakes in construction and engineering. 🚧
5/ FADGI-compliant scans ensure:
✅ True-to-original accuracy – No lost details or distorted lines.
✅ Long-term preservation – Protecting designs for future reference.
✅ Better collaboration – Digital access makes sharing blueprints seamless.
6/ Architects, engineers, and contractors rely on precise documentation. Poor scans can lead to misinterpretations, project delays, and compliance risks.
7/ Regulations are evolving. More agencies, including NARA (National Archives), require FADGI compliance for records. Staying ahead ensures legal and operational readiness.
8/ If your firm still has legacy blueprints, sepia and blackline drawings, it’s time to digitize—with the right standards in place.
9/ Let’s talk: Is your company scanning drawings that are FADGI-compliant?
