The design of any reconstruction or addition begins and ends with drawings.

So to begin such a project, the plans need to be designed “As Is” construction plans.

There is a huge difference in the quality of the “As Built” plans, depending on who you choose to hire. But first, it’s best to understand exactly what the as-built plans are.

What are As-Built Plans?

The most important operational and maintenance documentation products of a construction project are as-built drawings.

The drawings that owners typically have in their possession are the original very old construction drawings (design drawings). At best, these drawings are revised to reflect changes in the field.

In our country there are many times when construction drawings are not even available either because they have been lost or destroyed. It has happened to us that first an industrial building is constructed and then we are asked for plans so that it can be studied !

It is also common in existing large commercial or even industrial buildings to raise serious doubts about their structural adequacy. There we are asked to deliver accurate 3D drawings of the load-bearing structure so that the building can be studied and “solved” statically from the beginning.
