Does anybody provide customers with such drawings - schemes, connection boxes, pathways etc? Industrial/Residential? In the shipbuilding it is very common.

Most of the jobs we do require as builts for all electrical systems before we can get our final payment.

Small jobs they may be hand drawn on the original prints, big jobs we have our CAD guy make new ones up and they go to the owners as CDs and paper.

I should add many Fire Departments in this area require a "Fire Alarm As Built Cabinet" with up to date Fire Alarm as Built drawings.

According to CSI Construction Specifications Institute the term as built should not be used from a legal stand point the term that should be used is Record Drawing. They say that as built can get you in trouble in a law suit over the way the work was done.

Issuance of record drawings (good advice ? don?t call them as-built) is a common part of the contract for consulting engineers. We take the hand-markups from the contractor and give them to our CAD personnel. When we issue them, they are marked with ?RECORD DRAWING? in big block letters, and we do not affix a PE seal.

Okay i was just reading thru the specs and this contractor wants "record drawings" with a stamp. Should they be listed as "as-builts" if they are going to be stamped by an engineer?
