Hi there,

How do you produce your block and location plans? 1:500 1:1250 etc. I dont imagine you'd pay for ordnance survey maps each time at £XX a pop.

Thanks in advance

Yep... we do!... it'd be far more expensive to re-survey all the OS data for an area every time you needed it!...

You imagine wrong

hmm well i guess the cheapest option i have is to trace over some google maps once i've done the scale correct. :S

Just don't let the OS or Google People catch you!... There are HEFTY fines for Copyright and Licensing breaches!!...

We have to put a 'Standard' note on all our drawings with our Licence number otherwise we'd get fined!...
