As-built drawings are most commonly needed when regularising unauthorised construction, when selling a property with any history of modification, when applying for a completion certificate, and when planning a future renovation where accurate current drawings are essential for the new design.
What Are As-Built Drawings and Why Do I Need Them?
As-built drawings are structural and architectural drawings that show a property exactly as it was actually constructed, including any changes made during construction that differ from the original approved drawings. You need them for regularising unauthorised work, selling a property with modifications, or as a reference for any future renovation or extension work.

When Do As-Built Drawings Differ From Original Approved Drawings?
As-built drawings differ from original approved drawings whenever changes were made during construction, whether due to site conditions, owner preference changes, or unauthorised modifications made after the original approval. Even minor deviations should be documented, since authorities and future buyers rely on as-built drawings to understand the property's true condition.

If the property matches the original approved drawings exactly, formal as-built drawings may not be necessary, though this should be confirmed.
How long does it take to prepare as-built drawings?
Typically 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the property being surveyed.
Can as-built drawings help me sell my property faster?

Do as-built drawings need to be stamped by a registered consultant?
