Dear All,
in common with many SMRs we are introducing a clause in our specifications
that require contractors to deposit a digital copy of their reports with us
in addition to the hardcopy report in either *.rtf format or *.pdf format.
However, anticipating that some contractors will be unable/unwilling to do
this we would like to know how other people have addressed the problem. In
particular how successful have SMRs been at persuading people to send in
digital documents. Has arm-twisting been necessary? Also, how have people
dealt with the problem of plans whether A3, A4 or whatever. Are contractors
required to scan these in? Several of our contractors who might be willing
to send in a Word document will certainly not be able to scan large
documents. How have SMRs dealt with this?
all info welcome,
Paul Cuming
Kent County Council
