AI for As-Built Drawings
How AI helps create and verify as-built drawing documentation.
Definition
AI for as-built drawings helps create accurate records of constructed conditions. AI can compare design drawings with field documentation to identify deviations, assist in marking up changes, and verify as-built accuracy. AI-powered as-built documentation ensures accurate records for future use.
In Depth
As-built drawings record the actual constructed conditions — capturing changes from the design documents that occurred during construction. AI assists by comparing field conditions (from photos, scans, and field measurements) against the design drawings, identifying and documenting deviations systematically.
The traditional as-built process depends on the contractor's diligence in maintaining markup prints, which is inconsistent at best. AI supplements this by using reality capture data to verify the as-built conditions objectively, producing record drawings that accurately reflect what was built.
