Plan Room Rules And Use
PLAN ROOM RULES
- When performing a take-off, no more than
( 1 ) plan may be checked out at one time per employee, per
membership, (not to exceed three (3) employees). An exception
to this policy is for those reviewing specifications only for
Quick Review. At that time, up to seven (7) specification
books may be checked out with a 20 minute time
limit.
- Any plan or specification taken out of
the plan room or away from the front counter must be signed out by
indicating the time out your name, company name, and membership
number. DO NOT EXCHANGE PLANS with other members.
- Plans and specifications should not be
left unattended for more than one (1) hour at a time. If the
allotted time has been exceeded, The SF Builders Exchange
reserves the right to reclaim the plan. Plans and specifications may be
kept for two (2) hours the day prior to bidding and only one
(1) hour the actual day of bidding.
- All plans and specifications must be returned in
the same condition in which they were received. You may not take
specification books apart, or take the plans off the bars. Plans
are not to be torn or marked (except with chalk which must be
wiped off before returning the plans). When returning plans and
specifications, it is imperative that you sign them in.
- If you are interested in a particular
plan or spec that is signed out by another member, you may fill
out a next slip. Your next slip will be placed in the
specification box in order as received. You will be paged over the
SF Builders' Exchange intercom system when the plan becomes
available. At that time, you will have ten (10) minutes to claim the
plan or your next slip will be discarded.

checked out overnight, (reservation limit three (3)) but should be
reserved in advance. Overnight reservations may be picked up
