ViBIM provides specialized As-Built Drawing Services as an integral part of our comprehensive Scan-to-BIM offering, catering to the unique needs of surveyors, architectural firms, general contractors, and facility managers. Utilizing high-resolution point cloud data, we develop accurate 3D Revit models that faithfully reflect real-world conditions. From these models, we generate precise, fully coordinated 2D as-built drawings, ensuring every detail aligns with verified spatial data and rigorously adheres to both your project-specific standards and ViBIM’s stringent internal quality protocols.
Our as-built drawing deliverables encompass complete architectural documentation for renovation, historic preservation, and existing construction projects. This includes detailed floor plans, building elevations, reflected ceiling plans, interior dimensions, and comprehensive MEP system layouts. All documentation is provided in multiple formats including CAD (.dwg), Revit (.rvt), and PDF to support diverse project workflows and client requirements.
Our As-Built Drawing Services Offers
At ViBIM, our As-Built Drawing Services are engineered to provide a comprehensive and precise solution for documenting the existing conditions of your built assets.
- Architectural As-Built Documentation: ViBIM delivers comprehensive architectural as-built services, encompassing detailed floor plans, building elevations, interior/exterior wall configurations, door/window schedules, room IDs, and space planning documentation. Our documentation precisely captures all building elements with accurate dimensions and clear annotations, supporting renovation planning, space management, and regulatory compliance.
- MEP As-Built Documentation: Our MEP as-built services provide complete mechanical and plumbing system documentation, including HVAC equipment layouts, plumbing systems, and fire protection. ViBIM delivers comprehensive MEP documentation, precisely capturing all system elements with accurate routing information and clear annotations.
- Structural As-Built Documentation: ViBIM’s structural as-built documentation covers foundations, framing systems, beam/column layouts, and connection details, all directly derived from point cloud data. Our drawings provide accurate member sizing, material specifications, and load-bearing system information, supporting structural analysis, retrofit planning, and compliance verification for renovation and infrastructure projects.
- Site and Topography Documentation: ViBIM delivers comprehensive site as-built documentation, transforming point cloud data into detailed topographic models and 2D drawings of exterior environments. Our services encompass modeling and documentation of sidewalks, curbs, driveways, internal roads, parking lots, courtyards, and adjacent landscaped areas, all with precise coordinates, boundary markers, and clear annotations.
Benefits of As-Built Drawing Services
As-built drawing services provide an indispensable, accurate record of a structure’s final ‘as-is’ state, often differing from original designs due to on-site modifications. This precise documentation is vital for successful future renovations, efficient facility management, and ensuring compliance, ultimately saving time and reducing costly errors.
The benefits of using As-Built Drawing Services include:
- Millimeter-Level Accuracy: Laser-scanned data produces precise documentation, eliminating uncertainty and enabling confident decision-making throughout project planning and execution.
- Seamless BIM-2D Alignment: Ensures consistency across Building Information Models and 2D drawings, eradicating discrepancies common with independent documentation.
- Unified Information Source: Provides all project teams with consistent reference data, eliminating confusion and miscommunication stemming from conflicting sources.
- Reduced Delays & Costs: Accurate documentation proactively prevents delays and cost increases that arise when actual conditions deviate from documented assumptions during construction.
- Enhanced Lifecycle Support: Comprehensive as-built drawings bolster maintenance planning, emergency response procedures, and operational decision-making throughout the building's lifecycle.
- Streamlined Compliance: Verified existing condition documentation facilitates efficient code compliance verification and regulatory approvals for renovation and modification projects.

The Industry Standards We Follow
As-built drawing standards can vary significantly by client, region, or project type. ViBIM customizes all 2D outputs based on client-provided standards, ensuring technical clarity and consistency.
Our as-built drawing outputs consistently comply with rigorous standards related to:
- Tagging and Annotation Systems: Labels for elements like doors, windows, and MEP components adhere strictly to client rules or national standards (e.g., BS 1192, ISO 13567, US NCS).
- Precise Level Spot Elevations: Directly derived from the point cloud-based Revit model and positioned meticulously according to specific drawing conventions.
- Customizable Dimensioning Rules: Dimensions are applied exactly per client preference (e.g., center-to-center, edge-to-edge), ensuring real-world precision.
- Defined Line Weight & Layering: Drawings strictly follow specified line weights, colors, and linetypes for optimal readability in both print and digital formats.
- Tailored Paper Size & Title Block Formatting: Layouts are customized to specified formats (e.g., A1, A3 ISO sizes, ANSI D), including complete title blocks, sheet numbers, and legends.
- Standardized Scales & View Organization: Plans, sections, and elevations utilize standardized scales (e.g., 1:50, 1:100) with clear, logical organization.
ViBIM guarantees all drawings accurately reflect real-world conditions and consistently meet the visual and documentation standards required for your as-built services.
Our As-Built Drawing Services Process
ViBIM follows a structured and meticulous process to ensure the highest quality and accuracy in our As-Built Drawing services. Each stage is carefully executed by our experienced team.
- Revit Sheet Setup & Title Block Customization: We set up Revit sheets to specified paper sizes (e.g., A1, A3, ANSI), meticulously customizing title blocks with project name, client logo, and all essential metadata to client standards.
- View Template Configuration: Standardized view templates are developed and applied to control visual appearance, including line weights, hatch patterns, object visibility, and annotation styles. These are rigorously tested and validated to ensure consistent quality across all drawing types and scales.
- Annotation, Tagging, and Parameter Setup: Tags for doors, windows, grids, levels, and other building elements, along with text notes and dimension styles, are configured to client rules and local drafting standards, ensuring accurate identification and measurement across the entire drawing set.
- View Placement & Drawing Composition: Required views—plans, sections, elevations, and details—are generated and precisely placed onto sheets. View scales (e.g., 1:50, 1:100) are appropriately adjusted, and view templates applied to standardize appearance and maintain visual consistency.
- Final Detailing & Quality Review: Once views are placed, our team meticulously adds final annotations, symbols, spot elevations, and any other client-requested details. This detailing includes rigorous verification of all dimensional information, ensuring annotation accuracy and overall visual consistency. Concurrently, a comprehensive internal Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) review is conducted. This systematically checks all drawing elements against the source point cloud data and the 3D model for accuracy, verifying full compliance with client-specific standards and industry best practices before submission.
