As-Built services" refer to a set of activities and documentation carried out after a construction project is completed. These services focus on accurately capturing and documenting the actual conditions and details of the constructed facility or infrastructure. The term "As-Built" implies that the information reflects the final, real-world state of the project as opposed to the initial design or construction plans.
As-Built services are typically carried out by surveyors, architects, engineers, or specialized service providers who visit the construction site to collect data, measurements, and other relevant information. This data is then compiled into updated drawings, models, or databases, creating a comprehensive record of the as-built conditions.
Documentation of Changes: As construction projects progress, changes may be made due to unforeseen conditions, design modifications, or on-site adjustments. As-Built services document these changes to provide an accurate representation of what was constructed.
Key aspects and benefits of As-Built services include:
1. Accuracy for Future Reference: The As-Built documentation serves as a reliable reference for future maintenance, renovations, or expansions. It provides current and precise information about the structure, systems, and components of the built environment.
2. Verification of Compliance: As-Built services help verify whether the constructed project adheres to the approved design and regulatory requirements. This documentation is crucial for compliance purposes and may be required for legal or regulatory reasons.
3. Facility Management: Owners and facility managers benefit from As-Built services when managing and maintaining the facility. Accurate documentation aids in efficiently addressing issues, planning upgrades, and making informed decisions about ongoing facility operations.
