What Are As-Built Drawings?
As-built drawings – also known as as-built documents or construction as-builts – are the final, completed set of drawings that accurately reflect the conditions of a project after construction. Unlike the original design drawings, they show all changes, modifications, and adjustments made on site. Whether you need architectural as-built drawings, structural as-builts, or electrical as-built drawings, this documentation provides a reliable record of the building as it truly exists. For contractors, architects, engineers, and owners, these drawings are essential for compliance, facility management, and future renovations.
Why As-Built Documentation Matters
Accurate as-built record drawings and models help eliminate costly surprises and provide a single, trusted reference for all stakeholders. They:
- Reflect all final changes made during construction.
- Ensure compliance with local codes and as-built drawing standards.
- Provide detailed floor plans, sections, elevations, and system layouts for future projects.
- Support contractors and inspectors with verified documentation during permitting and inspections.
- Reduce risks of rework, miscommunication, or disputes.
According to Grand View Research, the global 3D scanning market was valued at $4.28 billion in 2024, with laser scanners representing 45.3% of the market share. The sector is expected to grow at a CAGR of ~10.1% through 2030. This shows how strongly the AEC industry relies on laser scanning to deliver precise as-built drawings and models.

As-Built Drawings Example – Case Study of a School in Las Vegas
As-Built Documentation for a school
One of our recent projects involved delivering as-built drawings and a 3D Revit model for a school in Las Vegas. The scope required documenting the existing facility with accurate as-built CAD drawings and developing a complete digital model. By combining 3D laser scanning with BIM modeling, we provided the client with precise as-built documentation and a reliable 3D model to support compliance, future upgrades, and facility management. This case demonstrates how as-fitted drawings and as-built models empower owners and contractors to plan with confidence.
Our Process: From Start to Finish
Our As-Built Drawing Services are structured to provide a seamless and efficient workflow, ensuring accuracy and reliability from start to finish.
- Initial Consultation
We begin by assessing your project requirements – whether it’s a small renovation or a large-scale facility. Together we define the scope, deadlines, and output format. - On-Site 3D Laser Scanning
Our specialists use advanced 3D laser scanners to capture millions of measurement points with millimeter precision. This non-intrusive method records every condition without disrupting ongoing work. - Data Processing & Point Cloud Generation
We refine the scan data into a clean, accurate point cloud – the digital foundation for as-built drawings and models. - 2D As-Built Drawings
From the point cloud, we create as-built floor plans, elevations, sections, and MEP documentation in .DWG or other requested formats. - As-Built 3D Models
Beyond 2D documentation, we build as-built models in Revit or Archicad, depending on your workflow. These intelligent BIM models capture geometry, structural components, and building systems, offering a reliable reference for renovations, retrofits, or digital twin integration. - Quality Assurance & Review
Every drawing and model undergoes strict QA. We verify accuracy, align with as-built drawing standards, and engage with you for final review. - Final Delivery
We deliver the completed as-built documentation in your preferred format: DWG (AutoCAD), RVT (Revit), PLA/PLN (Archicad), IFC – fully compatible with your existing project environment.
How Much Do As-Built Drawings Cost?
The cost of as-built drawings depends on several factors:
- Size and complexity of the building
- Number of systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fire protection)
- Level of detail (2D documentation vs. 3D BIM models)
- Site conditions and accessibility
| Project Type | Size | Starting Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small residential projects | Up to 100 m² | From $1,000 per project | Basic as-built drafting and documentation |
| Large-scale facilities | Over 1000 m² | Tens of thousands of dollars | Includes multiple systems and detailed documentation |
Our pricing is transparent and tailored to your project’s scope. Whether you need as-built drafting for a residential house, a commercial facility, or institutional buildings, we provide clear estimates without hidden fees.
