About this seal
NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION marks drawings that are preliminary — for pricing, permitting, coordination or review — so no one builds from them. It stays on every sheet until the set is formally issued for construction.
Common uses
- Preliminary and schematic drawings
- Tender and pricing sets
- Permit submissions
- Coordination drawings between trades
How to create it
- Open the template — the red rectangular box stamp reading “NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION” is pre-applied.
- Edit the fill-in lines under the word, or type the date, initials or reference before exporting.
- Change the colour if your office uses a different convention — red is the usual choice for this stamp.
- Download a transparent PNG (or SVG with Pro).
- Place it on a PDF or Word file with the document stamp tools, or print it on labels.
Frequently asked questions
Where does the stamp go on a drawing?
Usually near the title block, large enough to be seen on a reduced print.
Can I add it to every sheet of a PDF set?
Yes — use the PDF stamp tool to apply the image to every page, or the watermark tool for a text overlay.
Legal & usage
An office stamp is a status marking, not a signature, certification or official classification. Use it on documents you are entitled to annotate, and do not use it to misrepresent a document's status to others.
