Residential Asbuilt FAQ
What kind of residential services are provided?
Prime Edge Asbuilt Services provides a series of residential
services designed to assist homeowners, real estate brokers, residential
builders and Architects. The need for residential asbuilt drawings
is driven by a provision set by the local Planning and Building
Department which requires the submission of a complete set of
Architectural plans for most remodeling and addition projects.
In this case, an owner either personally, or through a local Architect
hires Prime Edge to obtain existing dimensional data within the
structure and a complete set of the asbuilt drawings.
What are residential asbuilts used for?
Residential Asbuilts are primarily used for three purposes. Firstly,
asbuilt drawings assist a design professional in their preparation
of the proposed construction documents. To ensure seamless collaboration
with your Architect, Prime Edge Asbuilt Services uses American
Institute of Architects drafting standards, which allows files
to used quickly and easily. Secondly, asbuilt drawings are often
called for when seeking project approval for a remodel or addition
from your local Building or Planning Agency, as the reviewer will
need to reference asbuilt drawings with the proposed plans for
a number of reasons. The third purpose for obtaining asbuilt documentation
is in order to present your Building Contractor with a documented
representation of existing conditions. Many conditions which have
the potential for causing construction claims can are discovered
by Prime Edge during the site verification process, thus saving
our clients from dealing with unexpected change orders.
What kind of residential structures do you perform asbuilts for?
Prime Edge Asbuilt Services understands that every residential
client has a particular situation due to the fact that people
choose their residence based on personality and each is different.
Throughout the course of business we have performed asbuilt drawings
for single family residences, multi-family residences, apartment
complexes, condominiums, most of which were occupied at the time.
At Prime Edge we understand that privacy is a critical concern
for performing asbuilts in people's homes. We work very defilement
with the owners and the tenants in order to minimize the intrusion
factor and perform all data collection with a high level of respect
to the tenant and their property.
Is AsbuiltEdge Technology used when doing residential data collection?
We use AsbuiltEdge Technology only during our commercial data
collection. AsbuiltEdge Technology is efficient within similar
space configurations such as offices, cubicles and other areas
with similar geometrical properties. When performing asbuilts
collection work for residential structures, AsbuiltEdge Technology
generally proves itself not as efficient. Most residential asbuilts
are performed using a standard laser point-to-point measurement
device along with the digital protractor (or miter finder). Unlike
with commercial projects, all of the residential CAD work is performed
at our office by qualified professionals.
