Request a Project AssessmentWhat Is Existing Conditions Documentation
Existing conditions documentation is a pre-mobilization record of the site in its current state. We use a drone to capture aerial imagery, paired with ground-level photos where needed, to produce a dated and geo-tagged photo set plus a written narrative of what we observed.
The deliverable is used by GCs to confirm pre-bid site conditions, by surveyors as a reference for existing-conditions surveys, by developers for permit packages and pre-construction stakeholder communication, and by construction managers as a baseline for the project record.
When to Use Existing Conditions Documentation
Before bid: GCs use existing conditions documentation to confirm site conditions before submitting a bid. The deliverable becomes part of the bid package.
Before mobilization: developers and GCs use existing conditions documentation to record the site in its pre-construction state. The deliverable is referenced throughout the project if a dispute arises.
Permit packages: developers use existing conditions documentation as part of permit applications for site work, demolition, or grading.
Pre-construction stakeholder communication: developers and GCs use existing conditions documentation to communicate the pre-construction state to owners, lenders, and other stakeholders.
