What is the importance of as-built drawings and
as-built models?

• When it comes to design build projects, one of
  the most paramount thing is the development of
  as-built drawings and models which can be used
  for multiple purposes in future. In other words,
  today it has become important and necessary for
  contractors to supply effective as-built drawings
  and models to owners which can assist them in
  enriching their knowledge about the whole process.

• Both as-built CAD drawing Services and models
  contain detailed information on construction
  process and the kind of modifications that have
  been made in the design from time to time.
• Generally what happens, when the construction
  contract is signed between contractors and
  building owners its clarified that in the end
  when the final product will be delivered to
  owners it will be accompanied with as built
  drawings and models.
• So wherever a modification is done in the design
  it is effectively included in as-built drawings
  that means not even single information is left
  unrecorded by AEC professionals concerning the
  project in question.

• These crucial construction assets which are
  provided by contractors to owners are utilized by
  facility managers and AEC professionals during
  buildings maintenance.
• When it comes to renovation and refurbishment of
  a building, these as-built drawings and models
  become the biggest source of information to AEC
  firms. Information that is highly important for
  renovation of the building can be effectively
  extracted by architects, engineers and
  contractors from these final construction assets.
• That means architects and engineers can get the
  information on materials, design and resources
  that were utilized during buildings construction
  which can help them in understanding the
  technicalities of renovation process effectively.

• Information related to dimensions, sizing, and
  fabrication etc. is clearly included in as-built
  drawings hence maintenance and renovation of a
  building can be effectively carried out by AEC
  professionals with their assistance.
• Hence for cost effective renovation,
  refurbishment and redevelopment of a building
  both as-built drawings and models are necessary.
  Apart from that these critical as-built
  construction assets can be utilized for claiming
  insurance if the building disintegrates or
  collapses because of natural calamities.
