GENERAL

ToughCAD is an accurately scaled drawing showing the existing conditions on a unit of land, including property lines, and detailing the location of any proposed and existing development, such as structures, paving, and uses of land.

What makes ToughCAD different is ToughCAD is INDESTRUCTIBLE – We are regarded as a leader in our field, offering a lifespan much greater than your average site plan. Due to our durable material, our products are designed to last and therefore create less waste. Originally, paper plans would get destroyed or damaged when on an active construction site, requiring the need for site plans to be continuously re-placed, creating addition cost and waste – This gives a solution to cost and time being taken up with the requirement of site plans being re-printed and re-distributed.

ToughCAD is available in A0, A1, A2, A3 and comes with a choice of arriving with or without eyelets for your convenience.

ToughCAD is multi-functional with the material being compatible with whiteboard markers – Perfect for changes in traffic management or other important functions.

ToughCAD is 100% recyclable
