When it comes to renovations or retrofitting a space, you can’t build confidently without knowing exactly what you’re working with. Here’s why thorough existing condition documentation is non-negotiable for AEC professionals:
1. It Prevents Costly Surprises
Incomplete or outdated plans can overlook real-world changes—misaligned walls, unexpected mechanicals, or undocumented structural work. High-accuracy existing condition documentation—often captured through 3D laser scanning—provides a precise, up-to-date view of the space, minimizing costly surprises during design or construction.
2. It Improves Coordination Across Teams
Architects, engineers, and contractors all need a reliable point of reference. Existing condition drawings ensure that every team member is working from the same, accurate data. This reduces RFIs, limits rework, and streamlines communication.
3. It Future-Proofs the Building
Whether you’re renovating a commercial property, upgrading a residence, or preserving a historical site, detailed documentation of existing conditions lays the groundwork for all future work. It’s an investment that pays off in both immediate and long-term project success.
