Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A job that measures dimensions on-site for buildings and civil engineering structures and creates and revises drawings.
Description
Structural As-Built Drafters measure dimensions of existing or under-construction structures at architectural and civil engineering sites, and create and revise as-built drawings (field drawings) using drafting tools or CAD. They accurately reflect on-site surveying results in design drawings and construction drawings, make adjustments, and create construction management documents. They collaborate with designers and construction managers to improve construction accuracy and efficiency in subsequent processes.
Future Outlook
With measures against infrastructure aging and an increase in large-scale architectural and civil engineering projects, the demand for on-site drafting is expected to remain stable. As BIM becomes more widespread, skills in 3D drafting and data integration will be increasingly emphasized in the future.
