In this episode, we delve into the essential role of as-built documentation in the construction industry. Whether you're a contractor, architect, facility manager, or simply a curious listener, this episode breaks down everything you need to know about the “final record” of construction.

As-built documentation provides a comprehensive account of what was actually built—not just what was originally planned. We explore how it differs from detailed design documents, and why it's crucial for compliance, maintenance, renovations, and future planning. Learn how as-builts support accurate project management, cost efficiency, and scheduling by capturing changes and deviations throughout the construction process.

We also unpack the latest innovations that are transforming how as-built documents are created, including high-definition laser scanning, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and mobile apps for real-time data capture on-site.

Listeners will discover the major components of as-built documentation, such as floor plans, structural details, utility systems, and design modifications. You'll also hear how different professionals—like contractors, architects, and facility managers—use as-builts to ensure safety, streamline operations, and improve long-term decision-making.
