As built 2D Drawings in AEC Industry
If you are planning to launch any construction process, then you need as-built drawings as the starting point. Through efficient designs produced by architects or engineers, builders can clearly see the structure of their project. The production of as-built drawings is essential as they will help architects in making changes to the original design, if necessary.
What are As-built 2D Drawings?
As-built drawings, also known as “as-builts”, are a type of CAD drawings produced through 3D laser scanning technology. The drawings are prepared by a contractor when the building project is completed. The plans can be used to evaluate any changes that were done to the original building plan during the construction phase. Receive a clear display of the geometry, location as well as measurements of the completed work through our professional as-built drawings.
WHow are As-built 2D Drawings created?
City Measured Survey company creates accurate and hyper-detailed as-built 2D drawings from an onsite measured building survey using advanced 3D laser scanning technology, equipment and software. Through specialised measured building surveys, our team of engineers and technicians will produce accurate digital representation of the existing buildings and structures. Using the data from onsite survey, the specialists prepare efficient as-built 2D drawings with the help of an AutoCAD software.
- Floor plans
- Site plans
- Internal and external elevations
- Sections o Reflecting ceiling plans o Roof plans.
Why are they Important in AEC Industry?
- Maintenance: A building construction will often be updated and modified over and over again. The drawings will be updated by specialists to take into account the improvements done to the structure, ensuring that an accurate drawing of the building exists all the times.
- Renovation projects: As-built drawings produces a comprehensive understanding of a building or structure. This is beneficial in enhancing safety and efficiency before starting works on a renovation project.
- New construction: Building plans are required for any new construction that initially only existed on paper. The as-built drawings record the changes made during construction process, so that an accurate drawing is prepared upon completing a building construction.
- Document every step of a design: A design usually undergoes changes arising from various factors, even if the final drawings have already been prepared, and construction started. Therefore, it is important to document the as-built drawings.
Why Trust a Measured Building Survey to deliver As-built Drawings?
With as-built drawings outlining a detailed record of the improvements done during the construction process, contractors can clearly see the next step. If there are issues or complications arising from the changes made, they can easily be identified and corrected early enough. City Measured Survey company guarantees accurate and reliable data that can help achieve this.
