As-Built Documentation Tracker

Business Case

Problem Statement

As-built documentation challenges:

• Tracking hundreds of drawings
• Managing revisions
• Ensuring completeness
• Meeting handover deadlines

Solution

Systematic tracking of as-built documentation submissions, revisions, and approval status.

Quick Start

from datetime import date, timedelta

# Initialize tracker
tracker = AsBuiltTracker("Office Building A", handover_date=date(2024, 12, 31))

# Add documents
tracker.add_document(
    document_number="A-001",
    title="Floor Plans Level 1-5",
    doc_type=DocumentType.ARCHITECTURAL,
    discipline="Architecture",
    contractor="ABC Architects"
)

tracker.add_document(
    document_number="M-001",
    title="HVAC Layout",
    doc_type=DocumentType.MECHANICAL,
    discipline="HVAC",
    contractor="XYZ MEP"
)

# Record submission
tracker.record_submission("DOC-0001", revision="A", submitted_by="John Smith")

# Review
tracker.review_submission("DOC-0001", approved=True, reviewer="PM", comments="Approved")

Common Use Cases

1. Status Summary

summary = tracker.get_summary()
print(f"Completion: {summary['completion_rate']}%")
print(f"Overdue: {summary['overdue']}")

2. Contractor Report

status = tracker.get_contractor_status("ABC Architects")
print(f"Pending: {status['pending']}")

3. Forecast

forecast = tracker.forecast_completion()
print(f"On Track: {forecast['on_track']}")
