What is As-Built documentation and why is it so important? The As-Built model illustrates the entire structural system in an “As-Built” condition or the way it was built. The outcome is a universal 3D model that is composed that depicts the process and the existing state of a building or facility. As-Built documentation is a crucial deliverable at the end of the project and during handover as it contains detailed documentation and technical possibility for further verification, maintenance, or renovations. What is As-Built documentation? Regularly recording the building progress to track the construction state can help stakeholders manage defects on the field and during operations. As-Built documentation is also used as a guide to managing building inventories and comparing data with 3D models, photos, or other 2D plans. As-Built documentation makes sure the actual state corresponds to the 3D model. How is As-Built Documentation created? In As-Built documentation, the site is measured using various laser scanning techniques. Terrestrial laser scanners or Drones are used to measure structural progress and build a point cloud around it. After the installation of the building services, fast and accurate scanners are used to capture the existing conditions of the project. In this way, the construction progress is monitored and recorded in stages for validation and can also be used as a digital twin. As-Built documentation supports whom? • • • •
