Reliable turnaround for complex inquiries

Powered by iPrintManage
A controlled workflow designed for planning and inquiry submissions

You are responsible for ensuring submission sets are complete, professionally presented and aligned with inquiry expectations.

Common pressures:

• Multiple document revisions before submission

• Strict formatting and collation requirements

• Risk of reprinting due to pagination or indexing issues

• Managing expectations from clients and inspectors

How iPrintManage helps:

• Structured file intake and pre production checks

• Controlled handling of late stage changes

• Consistent collation across all required copies

You need large scale document bundles delivered accurately and on time, often to multiple stakeholders.

Common pressures:

• Coordinating consultants and document contributors

• Managing high page counts across multiple volumes

• Meeting fixed submission or inquiry dates

• Delivering sets to different recipients

How iPrintManage helps:

• Centralised production workflow

• Repeatable structure across complex bundles

• Coordination of multiple set destinations

• Clear accountability from intake to dispatch

Document sets go wrong more often than they should.

Planning and inquiry submissions are high stakes. Expectations are clear, deadlines are fixed and multiple parties rely on the final sets being complete and consistent.

Yet the production process behind them is often fragmented, rushed or reactive.

Small issues can quickly become expensive problems.

Where Things Break Down and How the Standard Responds

Read on to learn about common pain points, and how The Standard combats these.

Multiple contributors and late edits lead to mismatched layouts and uneven presentation.

The Standard’s response

Structured file intake and production controls ensure every document set is formatted consistently from first copy to last.

Contents pages fall out of sync. Appendices shift. Page numbers no longer match references.

The Standard’s response

Pre production checks review pagination and structure before full print, reducing errors in planning and inquiry bundles.

Sections out of order. Missing volumes. Dividers misplaced.

The Standard’s response

Controlled collation processes ensure each planning document set is complete and assembled correctly.

Multiple recipients. Different quantities. Fixed submission dates.

The Standard’s response
Dispatch is integrated into the workflow, aligning document production and multi recipient delivery from the outset.

Document Submission and Verification

Before production begins, your files are checked against inquiry requirements.

This includes:

• Completeness and accuracy of submitted files

• Verification of pagination, orientation, scale and appendices

• Identification of duplicates or inconsistencies

• Confirmation that documentation aligns with inquiry expectations

Issues are resolved before print begins, not after.

This stage protects compliance and accuracy from the outset.

Secure, Direct Hand Delivery

Delivery is not treated as an afterthought.

• Delivery dates aligned with submission deadlines

• Secure packaging and tracking

• Direct hand delivery to the relevant authority or recipient where possible

• Time critical method recommended for high priority submissions

Production and dispatch operate as a single controlled system.

All documents are produced in line with defined format rules to ensure consistency across the submission.

• All A4 documents printed double sided

• Minimum 100gsm stock

• All plans printed at A3, single sided

• A3 plans folded to A4 for binder insertion

• Full size plans folded to preserve scale and legibility upon request

This protects readability, durability and presentation quality.

Each volume is assembled with structure and usability in mind.

• 4D presentation binders used unless otherwise specified

• Binders not overfilled, with minimum clearance maintained

• No chapters split across binders

• Each chapter contained within a single binder

This ensures logical structure and ease of navigation.

Each document set is clearly and uniformly labelled.

• Binder spines clearly labelled

• Project name included

• Document title included

• Volume number included where applicable

• Labelling consistent across the full submission set

This ensures clarity for inspectors, authorities and legal representatives.

Certain documents require specific handling to meet expectations.

• Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments printed to scale and folded appropriately

• Design and Access Statements produced as separate documents

• Non Technical Summaries produced as separate documents

• Non Technical Summaries bound using saddle stitch or wire binding

Specialist documents are produced according to their purpose, not treated generically.
