Definition
What is a build sheet?
A build sheet is the factory “as-built” configuration recorded during production. It shows the exact engine, drivetrain, colors, packages, and option codes assigned to a specific VIN when it left the factory.
- Exact as-built configuration recorded at production.
- Option codes, paint, interior, drivetrain, packages, and equipment (fields vary by brand).
- Pulled directly from OEM databases — not guesswork or partial public decoders.

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.

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.
