Importance of as

Importance of as-built models for facility managers and building owners As-built models have become very important part of project delivery method wherein the contract clearly mentions that owners must be delivered with them during the final handover of the property. And hence the development of as-built models is highly important for contractors as they are the one accountable for delivering them to owners during project delivery. As-built models which can be considered as the most important final construction assets contain detailed information about the building in question. Information regarding all these steps that were taken for developing the building is effectively preserved in these models.

When the actual construction begins, architects and engineers are forced to modify the design if rework comes into picture and all the changes that are made to the design due to design errors are fully captured in as-built models. Final as-built models are passed on to owners by the contractors and they are also provided to facility owners.

The as-built models provide comprehensive information to building owners and facility managers which can be utilized by them for various purposes. These final construction assets can be utilized by AEC professionals for the planning, design and construction of renovation, refurbishment, and restoration projects. Project execution becomes cost effective and simple if as-built models are available to architects, engineers and contractors. As-built models contain comprehensive information about multiple building trades such as architecture, structure and MEP; this information can be effectively implemented by architects and engineers during renovation for solving project complications.

If AEC professionals want to extract information related to dimensions, fabrication, materials, and sizing etc. from the existing building it can be effectively fulfilled with the support of asbuilt models. That means building owners can obtain all the necessary data from these models and can save a lot of money during renovation and maintenance.

For the convenience of AEC professionals, as built drawings can also be extracted from them.

Lastly these models can also be great help to owners for dealing with insurance issues if the building is unexpected destructed due to disasters like earthquakes and cyclones etc.
