What is as-built verification in retrofit projects?

• A. Field checks to confirm installed equipment matches design specifications and performance criteria.
• B. A financial audit of the project expenses.
• C. A customer satisfaction survey after project completion.
• D. A soil moisture test in landscaping.

Answer: (A)

As-built verification means checking in the field that what was actually installed matches what was planned in the design and will meet the required performance criteria. In retrofit work, designs often change during construction, so this verification involves looking at installed equipment, measuring key dimensions, confirming connections and wiring, and documenting any deviations from the drawings. It also includes confirming that the system operates as intended during commissioning, so safety, reliability, and proper documentation for operations and future maintenance are ensured. This process results in an accurate record that can be used to update drawings and specifications.

It isn’t a financial audit, it isn’t a customer satisfaction survey, and it isn’t a soil moisture test.
