As constructed data standards & guidelines

Our as constructed data standard incorporates the Asset Design As Constructed (ADAC) specification, as well as standards for asset types not included within the ADAC specification. The relationship between the different elements of the as constructed data standard is represented below and is further explained in the City of Gold Coast As Constructed Data Capture Guidelines:

The as constructed data standard applies to the following infrastructure asset types:

• buildings
• communication
• electrical
• open space
• sewerage
• stormwater
• transport
• water supply
• cadastre (as a reference feature)

Compliance with the as constructed data standard

Compliance with the as constructed data standard is measured, in part, by assessing as constructed submissions against the version of the guidelines current at the time of development approval or execution of a contract.

These dates are:

ADAC specification

ADAC has been adopted by all local governments within South East Queensland and is supported by the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australia. 

The South East Queensland Design and Construction Code that applies to water and sewer asset types also specifies ADAC as the region's As Constructed Data Specification.

City of Gold Coast As Constructed Data Dictionary

We have expanded on the ADAC specification to specify the as constructed data required for asset types excluded from ADAC. Our As Constructed Data Capture Guidelines detail the instructions on the as constructed data requirements for each asset type that we manage.
