As-Built Services

Capture and document existing field conditions to create accurate as-built drawings for ongoing operations, maintenance, and future modifications.

Service Overview

At Engineering Design Services, our as-built services provide a precise, real-world representation of your existing systems and infrastructure. We develop high-fidelity as-built models and drawings that reflect actual field conditions ensuring accurate documentation for operations, maintenance, and future modifications.


Our multidisciplinary approach captures the true state of your facility, from laser scanning data collection to fully coordinated as-built deliverables. By combining advanced technology with engineering expertise, we eliminate uncertainty and provide a reliable foundation for informed decision-making.


Whether you're updating legacy documentation or preparing for expansions and retrofits, our team delivers as-built solutions that ensure accuracy, clarity, and long-term value.

Engineering Challenge We Solve

Outdated or inaccurate drawings can lead to costly errors, unsafe assumptions, and inefficient project execution. Our as-built process mitigates these risks by:

  • Capturing True Field Conditions: Documenting systems exactly as installed, not as originally designed. 

  • Eliminating Unknowns: Providing reliable data to support engineering, maintenance, and future upgrades. 

  • Reducing Rework & Risk: Preventing design conflicts caused by inaccurate legacy drawings. 

  • Improving Project Planning: Enabling better decision-making with verified, real-world information. 

  • Supporting Asset Management: Creating a dependable baseline for lifecycle tracking and maintenance planning. 


Core Capabilities

Our team delivers comprehensive as-built documentation across a wide range of facilities:

  • Field Verification & Data Collection: On-site measurements and validation of existing systems. 

  • Laser Scanning & Point Cloud Capture: High-accuracy scanning for complex or large-scale environments. 

  • As-Built 3D Modeling: Development of detailed models representing actual installed conditions. 

  • 2D Drawing Generation: Updated P&IDs, layouts, and construction drawings reflecting current configurations. 

  • Brownfield Documentation: Accurate records for aging or modified infrastructure. 

  • Multi-Discipline Integration: Coordinated as-builts across mechanical, piping, and structural systems. 


Advanced Tools & Technical Expertise

We utilize industry-leading technology and proven workflows to ensure precise and reliable deliverables:

  • Laser Scanning Technology: High-resolution point cloud data capture for maximum accuracy. 

  • 3D Modeling Platforms: SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and AutoCAD Plant 3D. 

  • BIM Integration: Intelligent models aligned with existing facility data and digital twin environments. 

  • Data Processing & Validation: QA/QC to ensure model and drawing accuracy.
