Accurate As-Built Documentation for Confident Project Planning
No construction project unfolds exactly as planned. Design changes, field adjustments, and undocumented rework are common—often leaving teams with incomplete or outdated records of what actually exists. That’s why Core Capture provides precise, up-to-date as-built documentation using 3D laser scanning and BIM modeling.
With Core Capture, you get a clear and comprehensive digital record of existing architectural, structural, and MEP elements—captured exactly as they are in the field. Whether you’re renovating, modifying, or managing a facility, having reliable as-built data helps eliminate guesswork, reduce costly surprises, and improve coordination across all phases of your project.
What Are As-Built Drawings?
As-built drawings are updated representations of a building or site that reflect its current, real-world condition — not just the original design intent. They document any deviations, changes, or field modifications that occurred during construction, capturing accurate dimensions and locations of architectural, structural, and MEP components. At Core Capture, we generate as-builts from laser-scanned point clouds, ensuring they’re precise, current, and highly reliable for use in renovation, facilities management, and future construction planning.
Why Accurate As-Builts Matter
Inaccurate or outdated as-builts can lead to costly design conflicts, delays, and rework. Core Capture helps eliminate those risks by delivering high-precision as-built documentation based on reality capture. Whether you’re planning a retrofit, expansion, or facility upgrade, having trusted documentation reduces uncertainty, improves coordination, and supports faster, more informed decisions across project stakeholders.
How We Capture Existing Conditions
Core Capture uses advanced Leica laser scanners to capture millions of data points with millimeter-level accuracy. This data is then compiled into a comprehensive point cloud and processed by our in-house modeling team into accurate as-built drawings. The result is a precise digital snapshot of your building’s current state — including walls, ceilings, piping, ductwork, equipment, and other key elements.
As-Built vs. Record Drawings
While often used interchangeably, there’s a key difference: record drawings are updated manually during construction based on contractor notes, while as-built drawings reflect actual field conditions captured through 3D scanning and modeling. Core Capture’s approach eliminates guesswork by relying on laser-verified data, giving you a trusted foundation for future planning and construction.
What File Formats Will I Receive?
Core Capture can deliver your as-built documentation in a variety of formats to meet your project needs. Standard outputs include 2D CAD files (.DWG), 3D BIM models (.RVT), and PDF drawing sets. We tailor deliverables to your design workflows, whether you’re feeding into Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, or facility management platforms.
