As-Built Documentation Capture Existing Conditions with Precision

Accurate as-built documentation is essential for renovation, retrofit, and facility management projects. AJ Digital's as-built survey services use advanced 3D laser scanning technology to capture existing building conditions with millimetre-level accuracy, providing you with reliable data that eliminates guesswork and reduces costly surprises.

From site to digital record: Our as-built documentation approach

Traditional as-built surveys often rely on manual measurements that are time-consuming, prone to error, and miss critical details. AJ Digital captures comprehensive 3D laser scans of your existing building, processing this data into accurate digital records that reveal the true conditions on site.

What is as-built documentation?

As-built documentation is the process of creating accurate records of existing building conditions, typically after construction is complete or before renovation work begins. Using 3D laser scanning technology, we capture millions of precise measurements to create detailed surveys that show exactly what has been built, including any deviations from the original design. 

This documentation can be delivered as point clouds, 2D CAD drawings, or intelligent BIM models, depending on your project requirements and how you intend to use the data.

Why as-built documentation matters

Renovation and retrofit projects fail when teams work with outdated or inaccurate information about existing conditions. Our as-built survey services eliminate this risk by providing verified, current data that shows hidden constraints, structural realities, and spatial conflicts before design work begins. 

This means you can identify potential issues early, coordinate work across multiple disciplines with confidence, and avoid the costly rework that comes from discovering site conditions don't match your assumptions.

Our as-built documentation process

We begin with comprehensive laser scanning of your site, capturing every detail of the existing structure including architectural features, structural elements, and MEP installations. Our team processes this raw scan data, applying real-world coordinates and cleaning the point cloud to create an accurate digital representation of your building.

Every as-built survey undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure dimensional accuracy and completeness. We validate measurements, verify spatial relationships, and provide clear documentation that integrates seamlessly with your existing project workflows and meets UK construction standards.

The key benefits of as-built documentation

Eliminate costly design assumptions

Accurate records of existing conditions prevent expensive surprises during construction by revealing the true state of your building before work begins.

Accelerate project planning

Comprehensive spatial data allows design teams to work confidently without repeated site visits, reducing project timelines and coordination delays.

Support long-term asset management

Detailed as-built records become valuable tools for facility managers, enabling better maintenance planning, space utilisation and future renovations.
