As Built Drawings

I know the term as-built refers to a set of drawings made by contractors to represent the final "as built" conditions on a construction project. But I was wondering if the term can also be used to describe a set drawings for an existing building. What I mean is if a building will have some sort of renovation or addition, it is necessary to measure the existing structure and put together drawings of existing plans and elevations. My use old farm to refer to these drawings as builts Have. Do you consider it a misuse of the word?

Defiantly. In my work, if changes are made to original plans, As-builts should be resubmitted.

The final revision of construction drawings after construction is complete the project are supposed to reflect "as built".

There are many cases where the drawings are not met for existing construction because of time or simply poor record keeping. In this case, new designs can be made to reflect the as-built condition. They can also be referred to as built drawings.

From my experience working on many changes to existing facilities, it is wise to review the existing drawings and find critical information, details or dimensions that may influence the new work and check these in order to ensure they are correct. I found many cases where the drawings called "as built were not accurate.

Frankly, it does not matter what you call a set of drawings, only the precision is important.

plans for the work are in fact two of the articles you read. They can be generated by the installation contractor or measured over time on the field after installation, but you should get them, they are still plans for gluing.
