As built or as finished drawings
- drawings of a completed piece of work. It is a term first associated with ship building where,
as work progressed, it was common to require changes to be made to the initial design. It is common
as work progresses on projects involving work to old
buildings, for changes to be made to the design
or specification of the work. It would seem appropriate therefore to apply a condition to many
listed
building consents requiring a set of "as built" drawings, but in practice this seldom happens.
