AS-BUILT DRAWING SERVICES

An as-built drawing serves as a detailed record of existing conditions, providing a blueprint of both the building and its surrounding land as constructed.

Typically created after project completion, construction teams compare these drawings to the original plans and specifications drafted at the project's outset. As-built drawings track and document changes made throughout each project stage. They are also essential for recording the initial conditions before any renovation work begins.

As-built drawings become crucial once construction concludes. They meticulously document every modification and update made during the project, serving as a reference for all teams involved in future modifications, repairs, or renovations.

For facilities teams tasked with maintenance, the as-built drawing provides detailed specifications and materials used in the structure. This facilitates efficient identification and repair of any damaged parts, thereby reducing time and costs.

Similarly, construction managers referencing the as-built drawings can easily understand the project's history of changes.

They gain insights into previous construction details such as materials used and construction dates, which streamline planning for new changes or enhancements.

By leveraging as-built drawings, contractors can swiftly assess existing conditions without extensive testing, enabling them to promptly initiate renovations or improvements. This approach optimizes project efficiency and ensures accurate execution based on documented project history.

Typically, as-built drawings are created and utilized by contractors, architects, and designers depending on the project's requirements. The individual who initially designed the project usually takes responsibility for producing the final as-built drawing. They possess intimate knowledge of the original design and specifications, as well as involvement in overseeing and documenting changes during construction.

Once construction is completed, the contractor, architect, or designer prepares the as-built drawing, which is then submitted to the project manager for thorough review. The project manager ensures that the final drawing aligns with all client requirements and meticulously compares it against the initial specifications to identify any significant discrepancies. Following this review, the project manager presents the as-built drawing to the clients for their ultimate approval.

For contractors, maintaining and presenting as-built drawings can enhance professionalism and serve as evidence of successful past projects during job interviews. This practice not only impresses project managers but also distinguishes contractors by showcasing their ability to deliver high-quality work.
