From page 44... ... 44 Conclusions This chapter of the synthesis summarizes the findings of this project and draws conclusions on as-built procedures that are in place at STAs. The objectives of this synthesis were to document the procedures used by STAs to develop and update as-built plans for various delivery methods; identify methods and technologies used for developing, preserving, and updating as-built plans; determine who is using as-built plans after they are approved and for what purposes; examine how STAs store and retrieve approved as-built plans for legal purposes; determine how STAs capture as-built information from third-party agencies such as contractors, design consultants, and CEI consultants; and determine areas of research and future improvement.

From page 45... ... Conclusions 45 by hand, 89% are also using other methods and technologies to capture as-built information. This is an indication that, while the methods used for as-built development may be less technologically sound than that of original project plans, there is a movement under way to incorporate newer technologies.

From page 46... ... 46 Development and Use of As-Built Plans by State Departments of Transportation that new technology could improve the efficiency of as-built data collection, but adoption has been slow and piecemeal compared to other sectors of the construction industry. • STAs are currently improving as-built processes with a focus on improving the overall efficiency of the as-built creation process.
