What is this service?
Amendment and development of architectural drawings for existing buildings to suit a new requirement — internal re-planning, extension, change of use, or updating the drawing so it matches actual site conditions. ABAK surveys the existing condition and produces the approved amended drawings; this often extends to improving the façades of older buildings so they align with the newer Saudi Building Code, and it paves the way for subsequent services such as status correction, restoration or permit issuance.
Why do you need this service?
Adapts an existing building to a new requirement without demolition or rebuilding.
Updated as-built drawings that pave the way for correction, restoration or licensing.
Improves older buildings' façades to align with the newer Saudi code.
Precise documentation that raises the property's regulatory standing.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Service
When do I need to amend architectural drawings?
When changing the internal layout, extending, or changing the use — and whenever the old drawings no longer match what is actually on site, which is a prerequisite before status correction, restoration or obtaining a permit.
What does an as-built survey mean?
It is a field survey of the building exactly as it stands, with its real dimensions and components, issued as an accurate drawing that reflects reality — the basis for any later amendment or transaction.
Can old façades be improved as part of this service?
Yes. Updating drawings often goes hand in hand with improving façades so they align with current requirements, which lifts the property's market value and eases its acceptance in transactions.
Are the amended drawings accepted by the authorities?
Yes — they are stamped by the engineering office after being checked against the Saudi Building Code and municipality requirements, so they can be used in licensing and status correction routes.
