Comprehensive As-Built Drawing and Documentation Services
As-Built Drawing Services
Creating an As Built Drawing Services set is similar to the creation of a Construction Documents (CD) Set. Marked-up PDFs of CD sets are used by the architectural design drafting team to alter the CAD files of the CD sets in accordance with the requirements, all the while ensuring that accurate information is recorded in the title block.

Project Experience
Importance of Accurate As-Built Documentation
Clients across the industry are often surprised by how a building or interior created from the architect’s drawing, based on site measurements, can vary between the plan and the final execution. However, this is not the case. This is precisely the reason why some clients cannot comprehend the concept of as-built drawing documentation and its importance in giving the final shape to the project.
The need for As-Built Drawing Services is absolute in the ever-changing construction landscape where design and overall project modifications are a constant. When such changes come up, it is imperative that there is a detailed record of what the original structure and specifications included. This ensures the proposed modifications are in alignment with the structural integrity of the building. This transparency and clarity of original plans is needed to predict the final outcome more accurately.
The domains we serve
- Architecture: Architecture can most appropriately be described as the art of planning, design and construction, encompassing numerous facets of the AEC industry within itself. Many are also of the opinion that it is the very essence of the domain.
- Interiors: Interior design is more or less free from the confines that bind structural design, there are many parameters that need to be taken care of in order to ensure perfect execution.
- Engineering: In its most basic essence, engineering is referred to as the discipline of acquiring and applying scientific knowledge for the purpose of designing and building structures.
- Construction: Architects and contractors share a very delicate and crucial relationship; one that always walks the tightrope, and is of paramount importance for the client in every sense of the word.
