Existing facilities

Record drawings and reverse engineering

Record drawings document accessible and visible site conditions where existing electrical drawings are missing, incomplete, or no longer match the installation.

Field review

Site review can include accessible electrical rooms, panels, distribution equipment, equipment connections, and visible devices. Field labels are cross-referenced to the drawing set.

Typical deliverables

  • Electrical floor plans
  • Panel schedule recreation or updates
  • Basic service and distribution single-line diagrams
  • Equipment and circuit identification
  • PDF record drawing package
Basis of record: Drawings identify the field observations, available information, and access limitations that form the basis of the record set.
