Almost every existing building and plant in South Africa has a drawing problem. The original set was lost in a move or an acquisition. It exists, but three decades of alterations were never recorded on it. Or it was drawn as designed and the contractor built something slightly different, which nobody documented. The result is the same: you are asked to design, price, refurbish, extend or certify an asset without a reliable record of what is there.
An as-built survey solves that by measuring the asset as it stands and issuing the record in the format your team actually works in. It is the difference between designing against an assumption and designing against a measurement.
