Getting from As-Designed to As-Built Faster with the Vitruvi As-Built Platform

Written by Vitruvi Blog | Apr 23, 2024 11:58:15 PM

In the construction industry, the path from blueprint to structure is rarely linear. One of the most critical challenges this journey faces is the 'as-built gap'—the discrepancy between the original design and the final constructed product. This gap not only threatens project integrity but also has profound implications for efficiency, profitability, and overall success. Let's explore this issue and how the Vitruvi As-Built Platform provides an innovative solution.

Understanding the As-Built Gap

The as-built gap emerges during the construction process when changes on the ground are not accurately captured or reflected in the project's design documents. This can occur due to various reasons, such as unexpected site conditions, modifications made during construction, or simply human error. The consequences? Project delays, cost overruns, and a failure to meet the specified design standards—ultimately lead to a chasm between expected and actual outcomes.
