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