As-Built Services

It’s a record drawing of existing conditions. Documents that provide a detailed blueprint of the building and the land around it as actually constructed.

As-builts are typically created after successfully completing a project. Construction workers will compare the as-built drawing to the original drawings and specifications they made at the start of the project. A set of existing plans allows you to track and record changes to the project throughout each stage. It’s also used to record existing conditions before the renovation project.

As-built drawings are important typically after construction workers finish the project. Since the as-built plan captures every change and update made to the project, all teams can reference this document when they need to apply changes, repairs, or renovations. 

If the finished structure must be fixed later on, the facilities team can reference the as-built records to review the different specifications and materials that make up the project. This helps them identify different parts of the structure that could be broken to efficiently repair them, essentially saving time and costs.

If construction managers need to add changes or renovations to the project, they can review the as-built drawings of it. They provide a complete history of changes employees made to the project. This allows contractors to see what previous employees built, which materials they used, and how long ago they constructed it.

Doing this helps the contractor save time testing the structure to determine its existing conditions. Instead, the as-built drawing informs them of the conditions right away, so they can immediately begin adding their renovations or enhancements.

Usually, the contractors, architects, and designers may create and use as-built drawings, depending on the project. The person who designs the project is typically in charge of creating the final as-built drawing. Since they created the original drawing and design for the project, they'll usually design the as-built since they're the most familiar with the specifications. They're also involved in the construction process, so they'll usually direct and record the changes as they occur.

When the construction workers finish the project and the contractor, architect or designer makes the as-built drawing, they'll submit it to the project manager for review. The project manager makes sure the final drawing meets all of the client's requirements and will note the differences from the original specifications to the final as-built drawing to ensure the changes aren't too drastic. After reviewing the as-built drawing, the project manager submits it to the clients for their final approval.

As a contractor, you can also save your as-built drawings and present them during interviews. As-built drawings can make you look more professional and allow you to demonstrate how successful and well-made your previous work was. This is a great way to impress project managers and stand out from other contractors.

While the minimum project cost is $2,000, it's important to understand what's included in that figure and how we tailor our services to your specific needs.

Our $2,000 minimum represents the starting point for projects requiring a certain level of scope and expertise. This ensures we can deliver high-quality results that meet your expectations and project goals. However, the final cost will depend on several factors, including:

Project complexity: Simpler projects with well-defined requirements may fall within the $2,000 range, while more intricate projects requiring extensive research, design, or specialized skills will naturally require a higher investment.

Project deliverables: The size and type of deliverables, such as Revit, CAD or PDF formats, area of interest, scope of work & level of detail will impact the overall cost.

Project timeline: Expedited timelines requiring overtime or accelerated resource allocation may come with additional costs.

We believe in transparency and collaboration. During our initial consultation, we'll work closely with you to understand your project's unique needs and goals. We'll then provide a detailed quote outlining the specific tasks, resources, and timeline involved, ensuring you have a clear understanding of the investment required to achieve your desired outcome.

Remember, the minimum cost is just a starting point. Investing in the right project partner who truly understands your vision and delivers exceptional results is often more valuable than simply finding the cheapest option.
