Definition
What is a build sheet?
A build sheet is the factory “as-built” configuration recorded during production. It shows the engine, drivetrain, colors, packages, and option codes assigned to a specific VIN when it left the factory — when these fields are exposed by the OEM systems for that VIN.
- Factory “as-built” configuration recorded at production (when exposed for the VIN).
- Option codes, paint, interior, drivetrain, packages, and equipment (fields vary by brand).
- Pulled directly from OEM databases — not guesswork or partial public decoders.
Use cases
Who uses a build sheet?
A build sheet helps confirm factory specification for buyers, imports, listing accuracy, and parts decisions.
Importer / premium dealer
Confirms market specification and factory options before listing, exporting, or registration.
Independent workshop / mechanic
Verifies option codes and equipment to select correct parts, wiring, and service procedures.
Retrofit / tuning studio
Checks option codes and installed hardware before ordering retrofit parts, harnesses, and coding services.
Fleet / corporate buyer
Checks whether vehicles match the ordered specification and documents equipment packages for audits and resale.

Why it matters
Why build sheet matters
Factory configuration helps avoid mistakes in imports, listings, and parts decisions.
- Imports: confirm market specification, emissions class, and relevant codes.
- Resale: prove premium packages and equipment in the listing.
- Parts & retrofit: reduce ordering errors by matching options to the VIN.
- Verification: confirm the vehicle matches its original factory specification (when data is available).
Examples
Examples of build sheet data
Below are examples of what factory configuration may include. Exact fields depend on the brand, market, model year, and VIN.
Example: paint & interior Paint code and name, upholstery/trim code, interior color, seat type, stitching or material (where exposed).
Example: powertrain Engine code/family, output variant, gearbox code, drivetrain type, emissions or market-related identifiers (where exposed).
Example: equipment & packages Option codes for packages (comfort, sport, winter), lighting type, infotainment generation, driver-assistance equipment (where exposed).
Example: production data Production plant, production month/year, destination market or sales code (where exposed).

Build sheet FAQ
Does the build sheet include prices?
The report includes option codes and package/equipment descriptions tied to the VIN. Pricing/MSRP is not part of the standard report scope.
How long does it take to receive the build sheet?
Timing depends on the brand and the OEM systems queried. Many VINs deliver quickly, but some cases may take longer.
Does the build sheet include retrofits or modifications?
No. The build sheet reflects factory configuration. Post-production retrofits typically do not appear in OEM build data.
Is the build sheet always available?
Not always. Some brands/markets expose full VIN-specific configuration, while others expose partial equipment/specification data. You will receive all OEM information that is available for your VIN.
Do I receive service history too?
Checkout currently provides the full OEM report. It includes factory configuration/build data when available for the VIN, and service history is included when available.
