Supporting detail
As-built documentation showing what was actually constructed, rather than only the original design drawings, gives future renovation teams a more reliable starting point for scope development.
Without as-built records, a renovation team may need to spend time and budget verifying existing conditions that were already documented during the prior project.
Owners should confirm at closeout whether as-built documentation reflects field changes made during construction, since design drawings alone may not capture every as-installed condition.
Maintaining as-built records as part of an organized digital file supports faster, more accurate scoping on the next renovation.
