At PPM, we know how expensive residential and commercial real estate can be in the D.C. area. A remodel or renovation can greatly increase the value of your property, but cost overages during the process can blow your budget. That’s why clear, accurate As-Built surveys that depict the existing conditions of your structure are imperative to your remodel team. Starting your project with the right measurements helps to eliminate mistakes that can cause a domino effect on your timeline and your pocketbook.
We’re proud to offer Worry-Free As-Built surveys to our Washington, D.C. homeowners, contractors, and design clients.
Why As-Built Drawings is the First Step in a Renovation
- Whether you have a set of original plans from the construction of your building or they’re nowhere to be found, it’s important to start fresh? Why? Because plans change throughout the construction process and it’s unlikely that your original plans are 100% correct. This is a time when it’s better to be safe than sorry. All smooth projects start with accurate, clear As-Built plans your team can rely on.
- You may be wondering why your original plans have likely changed? An engineer or architect can’t visualize every detail of your construction, so once construction begins on a project, things will change. This is why it’s important to start with a fresh set of plans before every remodel.
Why As-Built Surveying is a Great Choice for Your Renovation
- The challenge for most renovation projects is that what was completed is not always what was originally intended.
- For instance, doors and wall locations will sometimes vary from the plans submitted. Control panels and other room equipment may end up in a different location.
- An engineer or architect can’t visualize every detail of your remodel, so once construction begins on a project, things will change. The contractor, along with subcontractors, takes on the responsibility of documenting any changes.
- Our As-Built drawings will show locations of doors, walls, and windows, as well as locations of wires, devices, and control panels. Drafting up these plans is crucial to starting your project on the best footing possible.
