  As-built drawings play a critical role in construction projects. They reflect what was actually built on site, not just what was planned. Yet many teams still ask a basic but important question: who is responsible for as-built drawings? The answer depends on the project structure, contracts, and level of coordination between stakeholders. This article breaks down responsibilities clearly and explains how modern tools like BIM and shop drawings support accurate as-built documentation. What Are As-Built Drawings? As-built drawings are revised construction documents that show the final installed conditions of a building. They include changes made during construction, such as routing adjustments, material substitutions, equipment locations, and dimension updates. These drawings are essential for facility management, future renovations, maintenance planning, and legal documentation. Because of their long-term value, accuracy is non-negotiable.

For architects and design consultants, BIM is how design intent survives the handoff to coordination and construction. That’s why the real decision isn’t emotional. It’s operational: Do you build an in-house BIM team, outsource BIM, or run a hybrid setup? This guide breaks down what each option looks like in practice, where it performs best, and how to choose without guessing.

You own standards, templates, coordination workflows, model health checks, and production output. When priorities change, your BIM team sh...
