As-Built Drawings & Documentation in Pittsburgh
As-built drawings are accurate 2D CAD drawings that document a building exactly as it currently exists. CAD Construct LLC produces field-verified as-builts from survey-grade 3D laser scans, giving architects, engineers, contractors, and owners a reliable record of existing conditions across Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania.

Frequently asked questions
What are as-built drawings?
Accurate 2D drawings that record a building as it actually exists, rather than as originally designed.
How are they created?
We laser-scan the space and draft field-verified CAD drawings from the resulting point cloud for high accuracy.
What formats do you deliver?
AutoCAD DWG, PDF, and other CAD formats, drafted to your layer and titleblock standards.
How accurate are they?
Because they are derived from survey-grade scans, our as-builts reflect real conditions far more accurately than tape-measured drawings.
What areas do you serve?
Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania, with travel available.
What is the difference between as-built and record drawings?
Record drawings are marked-up design drawings showing changes during construction; our as-builts are independently field-verified from a laser scan of the actual building.
Can you match our CAD layer and titleblock standards?
Yes. We draft to your layering conventions, titleblocks, and drafting standards so the deliverables drop straight into your workflow.
What level of detail can you include?
From basic floor plans to fully detailed plans, elevations, sections, and reflected ceiling plans — scoped to what your project needs.
How long does an as-built project take?
Turnaround depends on building size and drawing scope; most small-to-mid projects are delivered within days to a couple of weeks of the scan.
Do you provide as-builts for renovations and lease plans?
Yes. Renovation and retrofit documentation and BOMA-style lease and area plans are among the most common uses we deliver.
