As-Built Documentation
As-built documentation is a record of a structure's real, current condition — as constructed, including every deviation from the original design — rather than the design intent itself.
Every deliverable we produce, across CAD, Model, and BIM, is fundamentally as-built documentation: it starts from a laser scan of what's actually there, not a redrawn version of the original plans.
Where this is used
Frequently asked
Is As-Built Documentation a separate service, or part of Scan to CAD/Model/BIM?
It's an application of our core services, not a separate offering — see the linked service page above for how As-Built Documentation fits into Scan to CAD, Model, or BIM.
How long does a project involving As-Built Documentation typically take?
It depends on site size and the specific deliverable level — see the linked service page's turnaround table for typical timing.
Does As-Built Documentation require any special equipment beyond your standard setup?
No — the same Total Station + FARO capture used on every project applies here; As-Built Documentation is a matter of how the output is scoped and drafted, not different hardware.
Can As-Built Documentation be combined with another survey type on the same site visit?
Often yes — if your project needs As-Built Documentation alongside another application, tell us during scoping and we'll plan a single capture that supports both.
Who should I talk to about a As-Built Documentation project?
Start with the Contact page — describe the site and what As-Built Documentation needs to achieve, and we'll scope it from there.
