    As-Built Drawings

    We document what was actually built, not what was planned: a precise field survey of the completed facility (dimensions, elevations, locations of openings and services), then the original drawings are updated or reproduced to match reality, with a report logging design-vs-execution variances item by item. The final DWG + PDF set serves formal handover to the owner, facility registration, facility management, and any future expansion.

    The problem we solve

    Many projects are handed over with no drawings that match reality, turning every later maintenance job or expansion into costly, risky guesswork — cables and pipes in unknown places, dimensions undocumented. Accurate as-built drawings turn the facility from a black box into a document you can rely on.

    Who needs this service

    Contractors at final handover, owners and facility-management bodies, and consultants who need certified documentation of the executed state before acceptance, registration, or expansion.

    When you need this service

    • When handing over the project to the owner
    • To register the structure with government authorities
    • As a baseline for future modifications or expansions

    How we execute

    1. 1

      Review the original drawings and construction change logs

    2. 2

      Field survey of the facility: dimensions, elevations, and service locations

    3. 3

      Update the drawings to match reality and log the variances

    4. 4

      QA review and delivery of the final DWG + PDF set

    What we need from you

    • Original project drawings
    • Site access for measurement and verification
    • Construction change logs when available

    What you receive

    • Complete As-Built set in DWG and PDF
    • Variation report between design and execution
    • Photo documentation linked to structural elements

    Equipment & methodology

    We equip this service from our owned fleet of 90 instruments:

    Leica total station instrument

    Total stations

    Survey instruments for precise angle and distance measurement — control networks, layout, and as-builts.

    Terrestrial 3D laser scanner

    Laser scanners

    Terrestrial 3D laser scanning that captures dense point clouds for scan-to-BIM and as-builts.

    We own and operate our field fleet — our site shots carry the “From our field work” chip, alongside class-reference photos.

    Frequently asked

    What's the difference between As-Built and Shop Drawings?+

    Shop Drawings are prepared before construction as an execution guide; As-Built drawings are prepared after construction to document what was actually built.

    Does this include 3D scanning?+

    For large or complex projects we recommend adding Point Cloud Scanning for higher accuracy — a separately quoted service.

    How much do as-built drawings cost?+

    Pricing is scoped to the project: location and area, input quality, required deliverables, and review rounds. After reviewing the requirements we provide a written quote stating cost and schedule before work starts; there is no published fixed tariff for this service.

    What if the original drawings are not available?+

    We survey the facility entirely on site and produce new drawings from scratch at actual dimensions. In that case we strongly recommend adding laser scanning (point cloud) for complex buildings so every detail is captured to millimetre accuracy.

    Our guarantees to you

    We take the risk off your project — so you can commit with confidence.

    Accuracy guarantee

    If a deliverable misses the agreed accuracy spec, we re-survey and correct it at no extra cost.

    On-time commitment

    We agree the delivery schedule up front and keep you updated at every stage until it's met.

    Full confidentiality

    Every engagement is covered by an NDA. Your data and drawings are never shared.
