The Importance of As-Built Drawings in
Construction Projects

• You may not have as-built drawings at the top of
  your list of priorities, but it's time to
  reconsider. Because they record the real
  construction of a building or infrastructure
  project rather than just the original plan, these
  drawings are essential to construction
  undertakings.
• Unexpected circumstances or changes may arise
  during construction, causing adjustments to the
  initial plan. Consequently, in order to ensure
  that the project is constructed in accordance
  with the planned design, as-built drawings are
  essential resources for contractors, architects,
  engineers, and other stakeholders. When it comes
  to future maintenance, repairs, renovations, or
  other changes, as-built drawings are a crucial
  documentation of the project.
• With a 9 share in the Australian economy, the
  building sector is a major contributor.

What are As Built documentation?

• As Built documentation makes sure that the
  finished product is painstakingly photographed
  and documented by offering a thorough,
  post-construction image of a building. As-Builts,
  as opposed to original construction plans, show
  the building as it is at project completion,
  including any modifications made during
  construction.

What are as-built drawings?

• As-built drawings are the finished drawings that
  show how a building or infrastructure project was
  actually constructed as opposed to how it was
  originally designed. These drawings, while
  seemingly unimportant, actually record the
  precise placement, measurements, and
  specifications of each project component as it
  was constructed.
• Unexpected circumstances or adjustments may need
  alterations to the original design during
  construction. Consequently, in order to guarantee
  that the project is built in accordance with the
  planned design and that any modifications made
  during construction are appropriately reflected
  in the finished product, contractors, architects,
  engineers, and other stakeholders rely heavily on
  the as-built drawings.
• You can determine the original design and specs
  by comparing the as-built drawings to them.

As-Built Drawing Software for the Field

• As Built Drawings Software makes it simple to
  keep track of your drawings in the field and
  allows you to share marked-up drawings with
  stakeholders, such owners and project managers,
  at any time. Users have the ability to export and
  archive particular project locations, indicate
  field changes, and draw red lines.
• Accurate as-builts indicate the progress required
  to receive payment for contracts whose pay
  schedules are contingent on completion, along
  with any necessary revisions to the plan sheets.

The Purpose of As Built Drawing

• As-built drawings offer a precise documentation
  of a project's completed construction. They offer
  a shared point of reference that all parties may
  utilise to comprehend how the project is being
  built and to make any required adjustments or
  fixes.
• 1. Record Design Changes
• As-built drawings should always be compared to
  the original design as part of the building
  process. You can next check to see if the
  finished product adheres to the original design
  and requirements and make sure that any
  modifications made during construction are
  appropriately reflected.
• Furthermore, drawing comparisons between the as
  built drawing and the original design might shed
  light on any problems or difficulties encountered
  during construction and serve as guidance for
  future projects.
• 2. Provide Accurate Data for Repairs
  Maintenance
• As-built drawings are a vital resource for
  upcoming upkeep, fixes, upgrades, and equipment
  replacement. They include details regarding a
  construction project's finished condition, which
  facilitates future work and guarantees that
  everything works as it should. Construction
  projects can be successfully finished by
  depending on excellent documentation produced by
  knowledgeable experts. 
• 3. Prevent Mistakes Rework
• By guaranteeing that the final construction of a
  building or infrastructure project is executed in
  accordance with the specified design and
  requirements, these drawings can avoid errors and
  costly rework. As-built drawings offer a precise
  documentation of the project's completed
  construction, which can be compared to the
  original design to find any differences. Early
  detection of these discrepancies allows for the
  making of repairs before they become more
  expensive to fix. 
• 4. Comply with Regulations Standards
• As-built drawings are essential for guaranteeing
  that building projects, such as those governed by
  the National building Code, comply with all
  applicable laws and regulations. You may make
  sure that all relevant local construction
  ordinances, zoning laws, safety standards, and
  other criteria are satisfied by closely examining
  the as-built drawings.
• By identifying and correcting any regulatory
  deviations, this paperwork can assist guarantee
  that the finished product is safe and fully
  compliant.

Types of As-Built Drawings

• Depending on the particular needs of the project
  and the interests of the parties involved, a
  construction project may generate a variety of
  as-built drawings. 
• Architectural -
• Architectural as-built drawings are a collection
  of drawings that show how a building or other
  structure was completed. Imagine it as a map or
  blueprint of the completed structure, complete
  with all the construction details.
• These drawings, which are made once construction
  is over, provide precise measurements,
  placements, and descriptions of every element of
  the building, including the floors, ceilings,
  walls, doors, and windows.
• Architectural as-built drawings are crucial
  because they offer an enduring documentation of
  the completed structure and can be consulted,
  maintained, or altered in the future.
•  
• Structural -
• A set of drawings known as structural as-built
  drawings serves as a structural record of a
  building or other structure's final construction.
  The columns, beams, trusses, walls, and
  foundations of the building, as well as the
  supporting structures, are all depicted in detail
  in these drawings.
• The structural "bones" of a building, or the
  elements that support and stabilise the walls,
  floors, and roof, are what you may refer to as
  the structural as-built drawings.
• Because they offer a permanent record of the
  building's construction from a structural
  standpoint, structural as-built drawings are
  significant.

Types of As-Built Drawings

• Electrical -
• A set of drawings known as electrical as-built
  drawings serves as documentation for a building
  or other structure's final electrical
  installation. The arrangement, positioning, and
  connections of every electrical part of the
  building, including outlets, light fixtures,
  switches, and panels, are depicted in these
  drawings.
• Electrical as-built drawings might be compared to
  a building's map or plan that shows the
  electrical components and wiring. They
  demonstrate how the building's power works and
  how each electrical part is related.
• Because they offer a permanent record of the
  construction of the building's electrical system,
  electrical as-built drawings are significant.
•  
• Mechanical -
• A collection of drawings known as mechanical
  as-built drawings records the building or
  structure's final mechanical construction. All of
  the mechanical elements of the building,
  including the fire safety, plumbing, and HVAC
  (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning)
  systems, are depicted in these drawings along
  with their locations and connections.
• Mechanical as-built drawings might be compared to
  a building's internal systems layout. They
  demonstrate how the building's mechanical systems
  are set up, integrated, and function as a whole
  to give its occupants a secure and comfortable
  environment.
• Because they offer a permanent record of the
  construction methods used to create the
  building's mechanical systems, mechanical
  as-built drawings are significant. This document
  may be maintained, modified, or referred to in
  the future.
