T
Mr. Ton
“

Thanks again for the model, it was nicely done, especially the MEP part of it. The markups are mostly because of missing pits, gutter height issues, and floor height issues (the required tolerance was high, hence objects needed to be modelled within 15mm of the point cloud).

As-Built Drawing Sets Prepared from Point Cloud Data

As-built drawing sets prepared from point cloud data cover architectural, MEP, structural, and site documentation, all taken from the same Revit model. ViBIM issues only the disciplines and sheets your project lists. The four drawing sets are described below:

As-built drawing of an architectural floor plan sheet with room labels and a room schedule

MEP as-built drawing of a ground floor mechanical plan with ductwork, piping, and equipment tags

Structural as-built drawing sheet with Revit section views of a stair, beams, and foundations

Two as-built drawing site plans with spot levels, building outlines, and a north arrow

Architectural As-Built Documentation

ViBIM delivers comprehensive architectural as-built services including detailed floor plans, building elevations, interior and exterior wall configurations, door and window schedules, room tags, and space planning documentation. Our architectural documentation captures all building elements with precise dimensions and clear annotation systems that support renovation planning, space management, and regulatory compliance activities.

MEP As-Built Documentation

Our MEP as-built services encompass complete mechanical, electrical, and plumbing system documentation including HVAC equipment layouts, electrical layouts, plumbing systems, and fire protection layouts. ViBIM provides comprehensive MEP documentation that captures all system elements with precise routing information and clear annotation systems.

Structural As-Built Documentation

ViBIM’s structural documentation includes framing systems, beam and column layouts, and connection details derived directly from point cloud data. Our structural as-built drawings show accurate member sizes that support retrofit planning and compliance verification for renovation and infrastructure projects. Foundations, hidden members, and material specifications come from your drawings or records, since a scan shows only visible geometry.

Site and Topography Documentation

ViBIM turns point cloud data into comprehensive site as-built documentation, with detailed topographic models and 2D drawings of the areas around buildings. Our services include modeling and documentation of sidewalks, curbs, driveways, internal roads, parking lots, courtyards, and landscaped areas directly adjacent to buildings. Each drawing features precise coordinates, survey markers visible in the scan, and clear annotations.

As-Built Drawing Deliverables

As-built drawing deliverables are Revit sheets, DWG files, and PDF sets in the formats your team works with. ViBIM sets them up to your title block and drawing standards. Each deliverable is described below:

Revit sheet set for as-built drawings with 3D and section views of site trees and a building

Revit Sheet Set

  • Contains: Plans, sections, elevations, details, and schedules placed on sheets inside the Revit model.
  • Format: Native Revit file (.rvt), saved in the Revit version you specify.
  • Used for: Revising and reissuing the drawings when the building or the model changes.
DWG as-built drawing of building outlines and site boundaries with a title block

DWG Drawing Files

  • Contains: The same sheets exported for teams that draft in AutoCAD.
  • Format: DWG files with your layer names, units, and CAD version.
  • Used for: Adding existing conditions to CAD-based design and permit sets.
PDF as-built drawing sheet with a building elevation, section markers, and title block

PDF Issue Set

  • Contains: Every issued sheet with its title block, sheet number, and revision.
  • Format: PDF at the paper size your title block uses.
  • Used for: Review, printing, and record copies for teams without Revit or AutoCAD.

How the As-Built Drawing Process Works

The as-built drawing process builds and checks the Revit model first, then sets up sheets, views, and annotation before a final quality review. ViBIM draws every sheet from the verified model. The six steps are explained below:

Point Cloud Review and Revit Modeling

ViBIM reviews your point cloud and sheet list, then builds the Revit model that every sheet will come from. If your team already has a Revit model, ViBIM first checks that it has the elements and detail your sheets need.

Sheets are created in Revit using required paper sizes such as A1, A3, and ANSI formats, with title blocks customized to reflect the project name, client logo, project number, issue dates, and other metadata according to client standards. ViBIM sends one sample sheet for your approval before setting up the full set.

ViBIM develops standardized view templates that control line weights, hatch patterns, object visibility, and annotation styles. The templates keep every drawing type and scale consistent. All view templates are tested and validated before application to ensure they produce the desired visual results.

Tags for doors, windows, and other building elements, grid and level heads, text notes, and dimension styles are set up to your rules and local drafting standards. Every element is then labeled and dimensioned accurately across the drawing set.

Plans, sections, elevations, and details are placed on sheets at 1:50, 1:100, or other standard scales.

Once views are placed, our team meticulously adds final annotations, symbols, spot elevations, and any other client-requested details. This detailing stage includes rigorous verification of all dimensional information, ensuring annotation accuracy and overall visual consistency.

Concurrently, the sheets undergo a comprehensive internal quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) review. The review systematically checks all drawing elements against the source point cloud data and the 3D model to confirm accuracy. We also verify full compliance with client-specific standards and established industry best practices before any submission.

Accuracy, LOD, and Quality Control in As-Built Drawings

In as-built drawings taken from a Revit model, accuracy and level of detail come from that model, since each sheet shows only what the model holds. You choose the tolerance and LOD. ViBIM’s reviewers then check each sheet against the model and the scan. Each control is described below:

Drawing Checks Against the Model and Scan

Each sheet goes to two independent reviewers, who check its dimensions, levels, and spot elevations against the model and the point cloud. When ViBIM models from your scan, the model follows the tolerance you pick, whether 50 mm, 30 mm, or 15 mm (about 2, 1.2, or 0.6 in), or a custom value from your spec. Walls, pipes, or framing the scan cannot see are drawn from your records and noted on the sheet.

LOD and Drawing Detail

The model’s LOD sets how much detail the sheets can show. At LOD 300, doors, windows, and MEP runs appear at their measured size and position. On a 36,100 m² UK site, ViBIM built an LOD 400 site model to a ±25 mm (about 1 in) spec and drew a full archival sheet set from it.

Industry Standards We Follow

As-built drawing standards can vary significantly depending on the 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 can comply with standards related to:

  • Tagging and Annotation Systems: Labels for elements like doors, windows, and MEP components follow client rules or country standards such as the US National CAD Standard.
  • Level Spot Elevations: Spot elevations are derived directly from the point cloud-based Revit model and positioned according to drawing conventions.
  • Dimensioning and Measurement Rules: Dimensions are applied per client preference (center-to-center, edge-to-edge, etc.), ensuring real-world precision.
  • Line Weight and Layer Representation: Drawings follow specified line weights, colors, and linetypes for readability in print and digital formats. Layer names follow your standard, such as ISO 13567, or BS 1192 on legacy UK projects.
  • Paper Size and Title Block Formatting: Layouts are customized (e.g., A1, A3 ISO sizes, ANSI D) including title blocks, sheet numbers, and legends.
  • Drawing Scales and View Organization: Plans, sections, and elevations use standardized scales (1:50, 1:100, etc.) with clear organization.

ViBIM ensures all drawings reflect real-world conditions and meet the visual and documentation standards expected for your project.

How As-Built Drawings Support Renovation and Facility Work

As-built drawings support renovation and facility work by providing an accurate record of a structure’s final as-is state, which often differs from original design plans due to on-site modifications. Architects, contractors, and facility teams then work from the same verified sheets. Each use is described below:

As-built drawing floor plans marked with phased work zones and a dated renovation schedule

Renovation and Construction Planning

Precise drawings based on laser scan data show what is actually on site, so your team plans the work with fewer surprises. Accurate documentation prevents delays and cost increases that occur when actual conditions differ from documented assumptions during construction phases.

One Consistent Record Across Teams

When the 2D drawings come from the Revit model, they stay aligned with it, avoiding the mismatches that happen when drawings are drafted separately. Unified documentation provides all project teams with consistent reference information, avoiding confusion and miscommunication from multiple, conflicting sources.

Maintenance and Emergency Planning

Comprehensive as-built drawings support maintenance planning, emergency response procedures, and operational decision-making throughout the building lifecycle.

Code Compliance and Approvals

Verified drawings of existing conditions help your team check code compliance and get regulatory approval for renovation and modification projects.

As-Built Drawings from Point Clouds FAQs

As-built drawings from point clouds FAQs cover what the drawings are, the files ViBIM starts from, and how the sheets relate to the BIM model and your CAD standards.

As-built drawings record a building as it was actually built, including changes made on site after the design drawings were issued. ViBIM produces them as plans, sections, elevations, and schedules taken from a Revit model of your building.

Not always. If your team has a Revit model that matches the building, ViBIM checks that it has the elements and detail your sheets need, then draws the sheets from it. Sheets drawn from your own model are checked against that model, and your team stays responsible for its accuracy. A point cloud from your scanning team is needed when existing conditions must be measured.

The drawings show selected 2D views on sheets, while an as-built BIM model holds the modeled elements in 3D with their data. Sheets suit teams that review, print, or permit in 2D, and the model suits teams that need element data.

Usually BIM drawing services. ViBIM draws the sheets from a Revit model, so plans, sections, and elevations stay consistent with each other. DWG files are exported from the same sheets for teams that work in AutoCAD. If you only need 2D sheets, ViBIM can also draft them in DWG directly from the point cloud.

Yes. Send your title block, an example sheet, and your layer or tag rules, and ViBIM sets up one sample sheet for your approval before drawing the full set.
