Define Survey Objectives: Determine the specific goals of the survey. Are you
looking to document the entire facility or focus on specific areas? Clarify what
information needs to be captured, such as floor plans, equipment locations, utility
connections, or structural details.
Prepare Survey Equipment: Gather the necessary equipment for data collection. This
typically includes laser measuring devices, total stations, 3D scanners, cameras,
and note-taking tools. Make sure the equipment is calibrated and in good working
condition.
Conduct Fieldwork: Visit the facility and systematically gather data by following
these general steps:
Data Processing and Analysis: After completing the fieldwork, process and analyze
the collected data. This step may involve converting measurements into digital
formats, integrating photographs and sketches, and merging 3D scans if applicable.
Various software tools, such as computer-aided design (CAD) software or Building
Information Modeling (BIM) software, can assist in organizing and manipulating the
data.
Review and Verification: Review the generated deliverables for accuracy and
completeness. Cross-check the data with the original objectives to ensure that all
required information has been captured correctly. Make any necessary revisions or
corrections.
Documentation and Reporting: Finally, compile the survey results and prepare a
comprehensive report or documentation package. Include the deliverables, relevant
photographs, and any additional findings or observations made during the survey.
The report should be clear, organized, and easily understandable for future
reference.
Why it is necessary
Documentation and Record Keeping: Conducting an as-built survey allows for the
creation of accurate and up-to-date documentation of the existing facility. This
documentation serves as a reference for future projects, renovations, or
maintenance activities. It provides a detailed record of the facility's physical
layout, infrastructure, and components, which can be invaluable for facility
management, facility planning, and decision-making processes.
Compliance and Regulation: As-built surveys help ensure compliance with building
codes, regulations, and safety standards. By accurately documenting the facility's
features, dimensions, and infrastructure, the survey provides a baseline for
assessing compliance and identifying any necessary modifications or improvements.
Facility Management and Maintenance: The as-built survey serves as a valuable tool
for facility management. It provides a comprehensive overview of the facility,
including utility connections, equipment locations, and structural elements. This
information aids in maintenance planning, asset management, and troubleshooting.
Facility managers can easily locate and identify components, plan maintenance
schedules, and make informed decisions regarding repairs or upgrades.
Future Planning and Expansion: Understanding the current layout and infrastructure
of a facility is essential for future planning and expansion. An as-built survey
provides accurate measurements and documentation that can guide future development,
expansions, or modifications. It helps stakeholders assess the feasibility of
proposed projects, optimize space utilization, and make informed decisions about
resource allocation.
Understand the Client's Needs: Before pitching the as-built survey, take the time
to understand the client's specific requirements and objectives. Are they looking
for accurate documentation, renovation planning, compliance verification, or other
purposes? Tailor your pitch to address their specific needs and concerns.
Showcase Past Experience: If you have prior experience conducting as-built surveys,
highlight relevant projects you have completed successfully. Demonstrate your
expertise in capturing accurate measurements, producing high-quality deliverables,
and meeting client expectations. Share any testimonials or references from
satisfied clients.
Provide Cost and Time Estimates: Offer a clear estimate of the cost and timeline
for conducting the as-built survey. Break down the costs into different components
such as site visits, data processing, and deliverable generation. Be transparent
about any potential variables that could affect the final cost or timeline.
Address Concerns and Objections: Anticipate any concerns or objections the client
might have and address them proactively. For example, if they are concerned about
the potential disruption to their operations during the survey, explain how you
will minimize interruptions and work in collaboration with their team. If they have
budget constraints, offer options for tailoring the survey to their specific needs
and budget.
Offer Deliverables: Describe the deliverables that the client will receive as part
of the as-built survey package. This may include detailed floor plans, equipment
layouts, 3D models, or digital documentation. Explain how these deliverables will
provide value and serve their specific purposes.
Follow-Up and Support: Offer ongoing support and assistance beyond the completion
of the survey. Assure the client that you will be available to answer any
questions, provide clarifications, or assist with future projects that may require
the use of the as-built survey data.
Provide a Quote or Proposal: Prepare a formal quote or proposal that outlines the
scope of work, deliverables, timeline, and cost. Make it clear and concise,
addressing all the key points discussed during the pitch.
Remember to tailor your pitch to the specific needs and concerns of each client. By
effectively communicating the benefits, value, and process of an as-built survey,
you can increase the chances of gaining their interest and securing their trust in
your services.
