I purchased a $5.00 Buildeazy downloadable plan and have not received it.

You should have been instantly directed to a download page once the online payment process was completed.
Bear in mind that the internet is not absolute and occasionally things might not go to order. Regardless, after you have made a payment you will always receive an email from PayPal with details of the transaction and the receipt number.

In the unlikely event should anything not go to order, simply email here for HELP with your receipt number and details and we will email you the download link.

Please remember when doing so, there may not necessarily be anyone at the other end to answer immediately. We might even be asleep so do be patient.

If you have not received a reply from us within 12 hours, please check your spam folder as our reply with the download link may have ended up there.

The main causes of malfunctions are server outages during the transaction/download period, computer shutdown or just clicking out before the transaction/download process is finished. This does not happen very often.

I cannot print out a particular Buildeazy free plan.

Since conception, BuildEazy has never been print-friendly. That is all about to change, as we are currently re-formatting all the pages to make them print-friendly.

Explain the metric and imperial measurements. The equivalents aren't the same. Why?

In projects that are in both metric and imperial, all measurements are given in feet and/or inches first, followed by millimeters (mm) in brackets (), or vice versa. The imperial sizes are not an exact match to the equivalent metric sizes. For example, a shed built using the imperial (ft and in) measurements will be approximately 1.6% larger than a shed built using the metric measurements. The imperial measurements are more suited to North America. The metric measurements are more suited to Australasia.

Why do some pages look different than others?

We are currently re-formatting the complete site to make the pages print-friendly and also revise and update the older projects. This is work in progress.

What is print-friendly?

It means that when you print out a page, it should just contain the plan or project data in clear order and not the rest of the irrelevant stuff that you see on the online webpage such as menus etc.
We are currently working on this site to make all project pages print-friendly.
Please note that we have no control over your printer or printer settings.

What is a pdf file

A Portable Document Format (PDF) file is a file (we'll call it a page for easy explanation) that retains it's outlay. In other words, what you see is what you get. The outlay or format of the page will stay the same no matter what printer or setting you have. It doesn't mean that you can't muck it up with overall page size, but the page layout will remain the same in comparison. If you open up a pdf file in your browser, what you see will be what you print.

You do need pdf reader in order to view the page. If it is not already installed in you computer (most computers have it onboard nowadays) you can easily get it for free, read below.
