ePlan and Enhanced ePlan
-
Members of the VRCA have exclusive access to the
Electronic Planroom (ePlan)
which includes Pre Bid Reports, project descriptions, planholder lists and listings of specifications, addenda and blueprints. This platform allows members to search for plans from their desktop, and set automatic email reminders about jobs or products, for convenient access to the most up to date project information in the industrial, commercial and institutional sector in BC. Members can also access the two physical planrooms at our Vancouver and Abbotsford locations. Up to three employees can access ePlan under each ePlan subscription.
-
For an additional fee of $690.00 per year members can access Enhanced ePlan. In addition to all ePlan services, Enhanced ePlan allows you to view, print, mark up and export specs and blueprints into estimating software.
