FAQ’S
What is an as-built floor plan?
An as-built floor plan is a drawing that shows the existing conditions of a space exactly as it is today. It documents wall locations, room dimensions, doors, windows, and key features so designers, contractors, and owners can plan renovations or construction with confidence.
Why are as-built drawings important before starting a renovation?
Starting design or construction without accurate as-built drawings often leads to surprises, design revisions, and costly changes during construction. As-builts provide a reliable foundation so everyone is working from the same, accurate information from day one.
