Record drawings are

Record drawings are

• A. Marked-up or corrected contract drawings that identify changes incorporated into the work during construction.
• B. Original approved drawings.
• C. Drawings showing only final as-built conditions.
• D. Graphic instructions to bidders.

Answer: (A)

Record drawings capture what was actually built by updating the original contract drawings to include every change made in the field. They are created by marking up drawings with field changes, substitutions, and corrections, so the drawings reflect the true completed condition of the project. This makes them the official record for future maintenance, renovations, and verification that the work matches the contract. Original approved drawings show what was planned before construction, not what happened in the field. Drawings showing only final as-built conditions omit the ongoing changes documented during construction. Graphic instructions to bidders are bidding documents, not construction records.
