What are common mistakes a contracts administrator makes with an as-built drawing?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
Not updating as-builts correctly is a big mistake. Missing changes made during construction can lead to disputes. Also, failing to get proper sign-offs from the relevant parties can cause issues down the line. Lastly, not cross-referencing with the original drawings can lead to inaccuracies.
Key points
- Not capturing all changes made on site.
- Missing sign-offs from relevant stakeholders.
- Not cross-referencing with original specs.
As-built drawings need to reflect the final state of the project accurately. If you don't document changes made during construction, it can cause confusion later when trying to resolve disputes or perform maintenance. Always get the right approvals and compare them with the original plans to avoid problems.
