Every project starts with plans or Shop Drawings that are completed before construction begins. These drawings show the features and details of the project and must be approved before construction begins.
However, during the construction process, changes and modifications to the original design are inevitable due to unforeseen circumstances or changes encountered by the contractor and subcontractors during the final material selection or fabrication to be implemented.
For these reasons, As-Built drawings are very important to accurately represent the final status of the project. These projects are revised drawing sets submitted upon completion of the projects that must be created under the responsibility of the electrical works contractor.
As-Built projects reflect all changes made during the construction process and provide a complete view of the finished building.
These projects, which are also required during the delivery of the works produced on site to the supervisory company, are also used for the control of the fabrication and for the testing and commissioning processes.
Importance of As-Built Drawings
•Accountability and Clarity: These drawings offer a transparent record of any deviations from the initial design, ensuring clarity and accountability among stakeholders.
•Future Reference: They serve as an invaluable reference for future renovations, modifications, or facilities management activities. Having an accurate record can aid in faster decision-making and reduces the risk of errors.
As the sector continues to grow, the demand for accurate and comprehensive documentation, including As-Built projects, has become increasingly important.
As “Deon Engineering”, we are trying to play an active role in the sector with our experienced team in AS-Built project documentation so that the completed buildings are sustainable and living buildings.
